Isaura’s thesis project was designed to enhance the recovery of adolescent cancer patients. She created a community center for teens that responds to their specific needs through treatment, support, and joy. The hybrid building will work to restore the physical and emotional connections that are often lost while building a community in an environment that embraces the teens and their healing journeys.
