This from Architectural Record: Camino Nueva High School, a Camino Nueva Charter School, (designed by Daly Genik Architects) is an urban high school designed on a site that is essentially a traffic island in a gritty section of Los Angeles called Filipinotown. The site is bounded by the 101 and four busy streets.
The architects fit over 30,000 SF in under an acre of land. The building’s exterior is skinned in metal perforated panels to allow light in and block sound from the busy streets. Interior courtyards are sheltered from noise and blowing wind. Click here to see the whole story.
