people, place creative, place

This project started from a conversation with the Redfern community – Redfern Youth Centre (NCIE). The conversations with Aunty Margaret, the cofounder of Redfern Youth Centre, as well as the kids formed the driving inspiration. Interactions and observations with NCIE led to a design that placed people at the centre of the architecture. The proposal is a creative youth centre, functioning as an additional program to the original sport centre. The design aims to foster conversations through a community dining hall, a series of workshops and outdoor landscape activities. The open planning of this creative youth centre makes the building more porous and welcoming, reinforcing the idea of community architecture. The program creates a series of interactive and fun learning environments that encourage students to learn and grow whilst reinforcing community bonds.
