City Road: Youth Centre

Studio tutors: Amanda Spence, Rob Thomas

City Road in the Roath area of Cardiff stretches from the old Royal Infirmary at its junction with City Road in the south, up to the five-way junction with Albany Road, Mackintosh Place, Crwys Road and Richmond Road – known as Death Junction – to the north. The bustling street is one of the most diverse and multicultural in Cardiff. It has a long and fascinating history, and has been constantly in a state of evolution since its early days as a dirt track through farmland marking the edge of the city.

A youth centre will enable a large group of people to share activities with each other and the wider community. In addition to providing a welcoming, secure and inspirational environment that extends beyond the walls of the building, students will be challenged with considering factors such as education and life skills, commercial sustainability and low / zero carbon construction and operation.
