The Sickest designed HS ever - Central L.A. area High School #9





It's gonna be a Visual & Performing Arts School. It was designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au and will be ready to go for the September 09' term. The auditorium will hold just under a 1000 people. There are 4 main buildings, one for each art discipline. Man If had an opportunity to go here I might of enjoyed HS alittle. I'm still glad I was able to go to an vocational school for part of the day it really helped break of up the monotony that is High School.

Coop Himmelb(l)au’s design concept is to use architectural signs as symbols to communicate the commitment of the Los Angeles community to Art. Like chess figures three sculptural buildings, which relate to the context of downtown Los Angeles and the program, redefine spatially and energetically the otherwise orthogonal arrangement of the master plan.
