Locate at 7th and Hoover St, LA. The project is for the Ghetto Film school. The school is helping teach young filmmakers to develop their voices and give them a platform to tell their stories to the world, creating meaningful professional experiences and job placements for high school students and equipping students for top universities and careers in the creative industry.
The building design is based on the behind-the-scene process of filmmaking. The green color is inspired by the green screens used in the process and by the beautiful quilt by Rosie Lee Tompkins. The building arranges to emphasize the site location by providing flow and outdoor space.
Physical Model is made with left over plaster, metal wires and wooden sticks. The Idea is to create an architectural model with simple available materials. The concept behind is playing with contrasts, bulky and thin, dark and light, smooth and rough.
