What’s the future youth centre typology? How do we imagine 21st century communities?
The project is commissioned by Jockey Club to reposition and renovate 36 underused Integrated Children and Youth Services Centres (ICYSCs) in Hong Kong. The design process emphasizes on youth empowerment. The youths are engaged in workshops of 5 stages: design thinking, participatory design, design validation, final presentation, and site opening. Their comments have driven the programs, layout, material choice, etc. The second focus is to enhance ICYSC user experience by integrating digital and physical platforms.
