WOODWORKING SCHOOL integrated within a community of rowhouses Third Year Studio, Fall 2015 Imaginary Urban Site Located within an imaginary urban site, the school is constructed on a diagonal grid system which breaks away from the rowhouses’ orthogonal grid system. This allows the façade to capture the morning sun. The school celebrates students’ work and aims to spark conversations about design with the local community.
