Abstrak
Kendari City, Indonesia, faces the issue of juvenile delinquency requiring comprehensive solutions. This research aims to design a Youth Creativity Center facilitating youth self-development, reducing deviant behavior, and fostering positive community engagement. A contemporary architectural approach was chosen to create an innovative, flexible, and sustainable building. The descriptive qualitative research method includes literature studies, field observations, community consultations (youth organizations, local artists, community leaders), and secondary data analysis regarding demographics and juvenile delinquency issues. Community involvement is crucial to ensure the center reflects local needs and cultural values, aligning with "gotong royong" (mutual assistance) and community- based development. Research results indicate an ideal location in an easily accessible area integrated with public spaces. The design adopts contemporary architectural principles such as geometric shapes, modern materials, multifunctional spaces, and green open spaces, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. The final outcome is a creativity center serving as a place for expression, collaboration, and a dynamic community hub, encouraging intergenerational interaction and strengthening social bonds. This design is expected to enhance Kendari City's appeal as a youth-friendly and community-oriented city, facilitate youth potential development, and positively contribute to the community and environment.
