2018 // YOUTH CENTER IN BACAU
The project was born out of a desire to build a community project. Based on the study done in the dissertation paper, the project relies on the fact that the youth center architecture program is a public interest architecture that can generate social change in the communities.
The Youth Center can provide a framework for the good development of young people through spaces which can host educational, sporting, cultural, relaxing activities and can create new leisure opportunities for this active age segment, eager to experiment, attracted by new things and interested in personal development.
Starting from the idea of collaboration, of holding people together, the volume was designed in the form of a honeycomb, basically a grid which incorporates closed, semi-closed spaces, public or private, with a series of internal and external courtyards.
Through variations of the hexagonal enclosure, different areas are perceived as sitting places, mounds or green terraces, water mirrors or pergolas, rising with 1-2 meters from the ground level, managing to integrate in the park topography, without disturbing. In some places, the ensemble naturally become one with the park, being built to blend in.
