Opaque by day, diaphanous at night. An aluminum mesh forms an open scrim-like wall at the street’s edge for this expansion to the Graduate Studies Campus at the California College of the Arts. Effectively, the fencing becomes the façade. Behind the mesh skin stand two pre-engineered steel buildings housing sixty-eight individual artist studios, classrooms, administrative offices and exhibit spaces. The open space between the buildings forms a tree-shaded courtyard with outdoor workshops. This project is connected to the previously completed Graduate Studios project and creates a combined 50,000 square foot Graduate Studies campus.
