SERRA CONCEPTUAL CONCEPTS

CONCEPTUAL CONCEPTS Printed Circuit Board PCBs are usually a flat laminated composite made from non-conductive substrate materials (Fiberglass) with layers of copper circuitry buried internally (layers) and/or on the external surfaces.

These copper lines (known as traces lines) allow electrical charge to flow through the PCB, providing power to the different components which are situated systematically on the board. The copper traces function in the place of wires, guiding the electricity to the correct destination.

The Structure of LifeCurcuits and the Student

Copper traces are the paths to an IT future.

Electricity represents the student.

Circular pads are connections to others components on multiple layers.

The components represents a Program which brings vital purpose. -Each component has different function.

The fiberglass panel represents the foundation of the school.

PCB is a metaphor. Paths and connections will conduct the design like a circuit board. To guide and assist visitors, students and faculty.
