Young At Art | Museum (YAA) Broward County Library empowers architecture, interactive artworks and a transformational environment in a regional and national model. The project was made possible through the partnership of Young At Art, a leading not-for-profit children’s art museum, in partnership with the Broward County Libraries Division. The museum includes four major exhibit areas, an Art Institute including art studios for 2D visual arts, ceramics, 3D graphics and photography, for all ages. The project comprises a Library, Teen center, Café, Conference Areas and a Reading room. The design concept is inspired by the child and the child’s experience of this particular place in South Florida, of making connections with the Landscape and incorporates the relationship of space to the child, the interaction of the child in the production of ideas and the ongoing interaction of Art with the user. The Architecture is legible and through this demonstrates the mission of creativity and sustainability. Structural, mechanical, infrastructural and other systems are exposed throughout the building in a visually connected way to enhance the space while offering opportunities to learn about the green building practices employed.
