Cool for kids: Youth space explodes in colour, energy

Madrid – A new youth centre has received a sophisticated makeover fit for a top members’ club.

The Rivas Vaciamadrid Youth Center by Mi5 Architects conveys its users’ youthful spirit through its energetic, unconventional interior, while further taking inspiration from the bright, buoyant nature of our Playscapes trend.

Like OPEN, a youth club in Norwich, UK, the project embraces an open participation process, where the local youth work with designers and politicians to outline the future of this contemporary ‘social monument’.
