Overcoming the (lonely) City

Youth Mental Health Centres reflect how Australia treats its most vulnerable, as the primary place for young, isolated adults to seek help. The thesis explored walking’s intrinsic role in feeding the sole and how architecture can play a role in that, in an increasing hostile environment. Facilitating movement through its programming, planning and range of opportunities to connect with blue and green public spaces. Mirroring a run or walk around the harbours edge. The form prioritises a meandering pathway, outdoor terraces and accessible public amenity recalling the beloved Australian trope of coastal SLS club houses.
