This book consist of in-depth research and case studies that will aid my design choices for my senior project. Growing up in a poverty stricken neighborhood, I understand what it's like to endure long nights of coldness and lonesomeness. I've witnessed friends and family turn to desperate measures due to their lack of income and resources.  All in all, my goal is to create a state of the art recreation center that aims to set a positive platform for troubled adolescents.
