THIRD PLACE FOR YOUTH
A YOUTH REVIVAL HUB TO ACT TOWARDS HEALTHIER REALITIES
For youth in a dense commercial and educational area, a third place can play an important role in promoting social connection, relaxation, and mental well-being.
The surrounding of the proposed site is lack of safe and accessible spaces for youth to gather, socialize, and engage in activities. This can contribute to feelings of isolation and boredom, which can negatively impact their mental health. A third place can provide youth with a sense of community, a place for creative learning, a place to practice positive mental health, a safe space to engage in leisure activities and also empowerment.

IMPLEMENTATION OF NEUROARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLES AS RECURSIVE RULES
Neuroarchitecture is a field that examines the relationship between the built environment and human behavior, with the goal of designing spaces that promote well-being. It takes into account the impact that architecture and design have on the human brain and nervous system, and seeks to create environments that support health, comfort, and productivity. The field draws on a range of disciplines, including neuroscience, psychology, and architecture, and incorporates a variety of design elements to create spaces that promote well-being.
