Project Description:

The project was a comprehensive and integrated design of a 100,000 SF High School in Miami Florida. Students were asked to develop a relationship between spatial, material, and systems configuration in relation to building figuration.  

The new architecture and design high school uses natural air movement to create a building that needs minimal mechanical air temperature control. The cooling system, façade, program org, and structural scheme, all work to create an aesthetic texture or hatch expressed on the building exterior.
