EL CAMINO FUNDAMENTAL HIGH SCHOOL CENTER FOR THE ARTS

Concrete masonry was instrumental to executing the design concept. This building relies on simple and elegant forms which act as an acoustical container for the spaces within. The CMU's are dynamically variegated by using three subtle shades of grey and charcoal blocks, with eight-inch high units as the predominate size and four-inch high accent courses also incorporated into the pattern. These solid forms anchor the building and contrast with an elegant, transparent glass lobby and a delicate roof overhang that invites the community.
