Industrial Revolution 4.0 has now become an integral part of the dynamic development of the creative industry in Indonesia through the presence of digital technology. In facing this revolution, the younger generation is demanded to become agents of change in harnessing the potential of the digital creative industry. As a creative city, Bandung has already shown trends and a conducive climate that support the development of digital art and digital creative businesses. These potentials include the fields of multimedia creative arts and rapidly growing digital startup businesses. However, the development of these potentials is currently hindered by various challenges, with the main ones being funding and human resources. Considering this, the creative and socially entrepreneurial young generation can play a role in responding to the demands of the digital creative industry in Bandung. To develop such characteristics, architecture can contribute by creating a nurturing environment that supports the creativity and productivity of the younger generation in developing their skills. Through a project that redefines the current youth arena, which serves as a platform for Bandung's younger generation, into a digital creative space in the face of this industrial revolution. The design of this project is based on three main aspects: creating a creative environment, integrating technology, and activating the youth space. This Youth Digital Creation Center project integrates two main functions, namely creative space and entrepreneurship space. The project is located on Merdeka Street, Bandung Wetan District, chosen based on its potential as it is situated in the city center, a commercial area, and easily accessible for the creative industry players in Bandung.
