Be Social, Make Friends
I designed a social gathering space for teenagers to meet on
Sunday evenings so they can meet up and play games. This is a space created to give
teenagers a meetin place and is open to everybody, the idea is to stimulate contact
between these teenagers and take them outside their own daily bubble. This is all to
combat lonelyness, give new perspectives and give teenagers a place of community
with people of their own age. They help and support each other.
This space started as a messy upstairs area of a church in the city center of Heemskerk.
Over a period of about 3 months I designed and build, with the help of some friends,
the entire space. Taking into acount budget, different space uses and the fact that
the church is a monument. This project took sketches, pitching to the church board
for budget, 3D modeling and eventualy building everything and so many more things.
