The focus of the project is to create an environment to encourage future prosperity for the younger generations and evoking the desire to experience. This is achieved by creating a variety of different spaces for young people to play, experiment, communicate and seek support safely. The hope for the project is to create a space where young people can express themselves and find their individuality through a variety of different ways which can be from art to sports. The design is broken into five different zones, also with five pitstops located throughout the space. To create a culture like environment each of the zones spread into one another to encourage young people to create connections and try new activities. There are also spaces where the young people can invite the community into the site which allows for further connections. The design is adaptive allowing young people to change the space for what is appropriate for their needs as this is their space. The spaces include Entertainment village, concert zone, Garden, street and sport zone. 

The space is a journey too reconnection of true authentic self for young people therefor throughout the site there are multiple different entry points to join the journey. Throughout the space there are five tall structures spread out which are the pitstops. The concept behind the pitstops is to create spaces where young people young can take a break in their journey and have a place to rest.

Street Zone

The street zone is an adaptive space to allow the young people to use the spaces to meet their needs. For this example the space is a market space where they can sell produce or work and invite the community along to create connections however it could be a performance space etc.
