UNITY - Youth Community Center for Urban Arts focuses on providing a space for youth to express themselves freely through art forms such as graffiti, break-dancing, emceeing and DJ-ing by incorporating the local art-centric community in this adaptive re-use project. Within this design component, we will focus on taking the various information gathered from the research component and apply this to the final design of this adaptive re-use space. With the concept being “hierarchy” as shown on art, the focus will be on development of the use of light, color and textures within a space by incorporating in advanced technology with abiding by City of Toronto laws and regulations as well as Ontario Building Code (OBC)
