…is a title with two potential readings.

First, it indicates that the landscape, the architecture, and the atmosphere are all distinctly different from elsewhere. In being uncommon, it becomes unique, special, and provocative. Second, it indicates that city and school meld together, relying upon each other and the ground they share. It also broadens the scope of what architecture can be, seeking to establish common ground with adjacent disciplines.

Architecture happens everywhere, from the densest city to the broadest landscape. When there is no city to act as a backdrop, where does architecture go? It turns to the ground, echoing the natural environment and rooting itself in place

community

A building is only as strong as those who occupy it. Strong, sensible architecture can facilitate interpersonal interactions and a sense of well-being. It’s the architect’s responsibility to care for the communities that use the buildings they design.

collaboration

It is important to leverage our diverse community and show what is possible when art, design and architecture intersect. We believe reaching across disciplines can broaden architectural narratives, fuel creativity, and provide unforeseen opportunities.
