Youth looking to the past and vice versa. Also inside is defined by a bare structure, inviting his occupation, exposing its internal evolution of the concerns, needs and rebellious nature of young people attend there, inviting them to transform it into itself and thus strengthen the relationship of commitment and responsibility of youth in the city.
