The privatization of land in Monteverde results in a lack of community space, with negative consequences for youth. A new community center aims to fill this gap through the renovation of an abandoned building. This project aims to help develop a vision for this community center through interviews with community members. We used CAD to design a 3D rendition of the envisioned community center to help galvanize support and raise funds needed to bring the community center to life.
