创造城市。新的青年中心位于一个相对较小的场地上,部分位于一个现有的建筑中。因为现有的底层公寓的可用空间相对较小,也包括在新的青年中心内,所以中心最大的空间建在现有建筑的旁边,并能通往邻近的小公园。

Making the city. The new youth center is situated on a relatively small site, partly in an existing building. Because the available spaces of the existing ground-floor apartment, which was also included in the new youth center, were relatively small, the largest space of the center was built next to the existing building and gives access to the adjacent small park.

与公园的互动是至关重要的,因为它以前没有被充分利用。有了大的露台窗户和一个有沙滩椅、阳伞和玩具的户外储藏区,青年中心为公共领域提供了新的用途和新的活力。

The interaction with the park is crucial, as it was underused before. With big terrace windows and an outdoor storage area with beach chairs, parasols, and toys, the youth center offers new uses and a renewed dynamism to the public domain.

在街道的拐角处,一扇大门和两侧的大窗户构成了青年中心的一个引人注目的入口。这是青年中心最公开的一面,是活跃街景的展示台。青年中心是社区的一部分。

At the corner of the street, a large door with a large window on either side forms a striking entrance to the youth center. This is the most public side of the youth center, the showcase that enlivens the streetscape. The youth center is part of the neighborhood.

房子。第一个房间是一个超大的入口空间,可以灵活地使用(自行车工作室/展览空间)。第二个房间是一个客厅,似乎被推到了建筑外面的天井里。青年中心的第三个也是最大的房间向公园开放,同时围绕着一个大烟囱折叠,里面有一个烧烤炉。在现有建筑和新的部分之间,有一个厨房单元,与烧烤架一起可以形成一个沟渠式的户外厨房。

House. The first room is an oversized entrance space, which can be used flexibly (bicycle workshops/exposition space). The second room is a living room that seems to be pushed outside of the building into the patio. The third and largest room of the youth center opens onto the park and at the same time folds around a large chimney, that contains a barbecue. Between the existing building and the new part, there is a kitchen unit, together with the barbecue it can form a gully-fledged outdoor kitchen.

厨房和烧烤架在年轻人的参与过程中获得了重要性。它们构成了青年中心的象征性中心,一个年轻人可以回家的地方。

The kitchen and the barbecue gained importance during the participation process with the youth. They form the symbolic heart of the youth center, a place where young people can come home.
