the facts
The goal of this project is to establish a new architectural language for education - defining a relationship between the interior and exterior environment, but does not change the content or structure that is currently being used by educators. Due to the size constraints of this project, this space will contain only one area of education - Fine Arts - and could be used as a proof of concept.
A focus on the exterior environment from the interior spaces
15% of schools in the United States are in need of repair
$250 Million
or reconstruction. To do this, it would cost a approximately
270 Billion Dollars.
Students involved in the arts score, on average,
rate, compared to 72.9% without.
40-50 points higher on the SATs, versus student who have no arts education.

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” - Martin Luther King Jr. “Remember who you are” - Mufasa “Fear of the unknown. They are afraid of new ideas. They are loaded with prejudices, not base upon anything in reality, but based on...if something is new, I reject it immediately because it’s frightening to me. What they do instead is just stay with the familiar. You know, to me, the most beautiful things in all the universe, are the most mysterious.” Dr. Wayne Dyer “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” - Wayne Gretzky “Even if they beat you 99 times out of 100, that still leaves...one time.” - Little Giants “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” - Mark Twain “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela “Success is a journey, not a destination.” - Ben Sweetland “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” - Christopher Robin “A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.” - Walter Gagehot “One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.” - Arthur Ashe “Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children” - Walt Disney “If you don’t like something, change it.

People talking without speak, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never share, and no one dared, disturb the sound of silence” - Simon and Garfunkel “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.” - Helen Keller

the thesis The integration of the arts in the classroom can enhance and facilitate discussions in math, science, and literacy.
the hypothesis A focus on the exterior environment from the interior spaces can stimulate, nurture, and promote a child’s education.
the parti statement The education exploration of art, whether it be music, dance, fine art, or theater, originates from two locations; exposure through performance and social interaction. These origins create a journey that is composed through a variety of experiences.

the parti origins Created from a deconstructed music staff, the parti has four lines that are disconnected for two bars. The spaces are the traditional location for notations to be placed. The gap between the lines and the end points are the silence before and after a performance. The transparency allows for the composition to be a movement and now a hard set formula.

But in the end it’s only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it’ll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something.
