YKK Community Learning Centre

"YKKuntz" started as a team project whose main target was finding the proper way to integrate an isolated and discriminated community in a larger social unit. In order to avoid arbitrary decisions, our team run a survey in the different communities regarding the locals' real needs.
As illustrated above the proposal aims to speculate the opportunities of zipping three neighborhoods together by generating a new urban pole. We decided to design a public square including a healthcare center, an events center and a learning center. At this point each team member had to focus o a specific facility and develop it further on.

YKKuntz Learning Center creates the opportunity of interacting within the frame of vocational training.
On one hand, people from different communities get a new chance to interact with one another as attendants, on the other hand they become able to exhibit the products they craft during their practice classes regularly, at various public events.
In conclusion, this learning center is encouraging discriminated youngsters from Kuntz area to let their skills speak for themselves in order to gain the appreciation and respect of other communities.
Therefore, the architectural representation of this whole idea is based on combining education and day care facilities intended for attendants (classrooms, workshops, dining hall) with a welcoming interface that introduce their activities to visitors from outside their community. This interface includes a front desk, a cafe and space for meetings, workshops or exhibitions.
