This master thesis proposes the design of the Artistic Youth Center in Miami as a catalyst that links the city’s creative community with accessible, practice-oriented learning for young people in arts-related fields. Motivated by inequities in access to costly arts education and by Miami’s expanding creative districts, the project asks how educational spaces can be configured to attract and engage the surrounding community while supporting collaboration across music, visual arts, performance, fashion, and design. The work adopts an integrated design process with a tectonic approach in which technical considerations shape spatial quality, and proceeds through analyses of educational space and catalyst architecture, case studies (e.g., Campus Roskilde, Shibaura House, and the Museum of Image and Sound), site, climate, zoning, and users, followed by programming, concept development, and studies of structure, acoustics, daylighting, and building systems. The outcome is a community-oriented educational building proposal that combines flexible spaces, common areas, and opportunities for exhibition to encourage interaction and public visibility; the report documents the process and presents the final design through narrative, diagrams, and illustrations. Specific performance results or post-occupancy evaluations are not included in the provided excerpt.

Denne kandidatafhandling præsenterer et designforslag til The Artistic Youth Center i Miami som en katalysator, der forbinder byens kunstneriske miljø med tilgængelig, praksisnær læring for unge i kreative felter. Motiveret af ulig adgang til dyre kunstuddannelser og Miamis voksende kreative distrikter stiller projektet spørgsmålet, hvordan uddannelsesrum kan udformes, så de både tiltrækker og involverer lokalsamfundet og understøtter samarbejde på tværs af musik, billedkunst, performance, mode og design. Afhandlingen anvender en integreret designproces med en tektonisk tilgang, hvor tekniske forhold informerer de rumlige kvaliteter, og omfatter analyser af gode læringsmiljøer og katalytisk arkitektur, casestudier (bl.a. Campus Roskilde, Shibaura House og Museum of Image and Sound), steds-, klima-, plan- og brugeranalyser samt programmering, konceptudvikling og studier af struktur, akustik, dagslys og tekniske systemer. Resultatet er et fællesskabsorienteret uddannelsesbyggeri som designforslag, der kombinerer fleksible rum, fællesarealer og muligheder for at eksponere kunst for at fremme interaktion og offentlig synlighed; rapporten dokumenterer processen og præsenterer det endelige design gennem fortælling, diagrammer og illustrationer. Konkrete ydeevnevurderinger eller efterfølgende evalueringer fremgår ikke af det givne uddrag.
