What is the potential for architecture to help children gain social confidence. This learning kitchen and agricultural center is a place for children to come with their families and learn the processes of growing, preparing, and consuming food as a community. This communal production process will encourage children to be more comfortable in social situations. The apiary on the roof, which is connected to a tank in the lobby filled with working honeybees serves as a visual metaphor for the way that these families are working together as a community to produce a meal.
