Publication Restricted SPACE THAT MOVES YOU: Active Environment Design in Youth Recreation Centres to Promote Physical Activity.(2025) Ouk Panharoth; Stone Sally; Interior Architecture/Interior Design (MA) (Two-Year); Berlin International University of Applied SciencesThis study examines the concept of an active environment and active design to explore a new intervention for active spaces that can encourage young people to participate in physical activities in the designated youth recreation centre. Additionally, to investigate how spatial design can encourage physical activity among youth through the active design components. The literature review will be explored to examine the active design principles that contribute to youth movement, along with the study of youth and their interest in recreation activities, exploring the aspect of recreation centres in the past and in the present. Furthermore, the answer to such issues can also be found in those studies that will be conducted in the form of case study analysis from the 4 projects in Germany to identify the conceptual elements of active design and their spatial design functions within the projects. And also using the example from the 2 projects from Denmark to add to the complement of what the actual active design components are that help build and foster youth physical activity within the space. The study found that active design basic elements are the staircase and the multilevel or changing of the flooring level can be a significant component of active design that contributes to the youth’s physical activity. The staircase is an important element that works well and is the main connector of multi-level concepts. However, there is a shortage of sources that support the ideation of active design for interior, and there are not many sources that mention active design for interior or indoor recreation centre design. That is why, youth recreation centre design project will be put to the test for examination infrastructure and serve as a tool to try out how active design features can be implemented in the youth recreation centre to foster physical activity.
