An Urban tapestry focuses on surfaces that are interwoven with various textures that create an appearance that strengthens the overall fabric. The tapestry can be warped horizontally and vertically by imagining every surface for potential development. With the integration of these principles, a single texture can form part of an extremely strong three -dimensional urban tapestry framework. The core design is based on these textural elements that form a new urban tapestry appearance for the school and the surrounding community.
