This is a big building added into a large complicated complex on a hill. With a simple bold stroke, its sensually brings order and form to the urban, hillside landscape that it dominates; an important and all-too-rare gift of the hospital typology.

Landscape Design

Jury Comments:
One of the jewels in the crown of the extraordinary building program of the LAUSD, this school honors its missions, its pivotal location at the peak of the Grand Avenue culture corridor. Its presence on the 101, vis a vis the Cathedral, creates an extraordinary freeway threshold for the City. It is particularly memorable for its mixture of delight, muscularity, severity and audacious whim. The mixture of gravitas and joy is exemplified by the Campanile which announces the central place of art and education in good and fine City. It really must be built.

Renovation

Jury Comments:
The beautiful and loving restoration - and the tenacity of the architect and community to see it through - is the embodiment of what makes great communities, and the central role of architects and architecture in that making.

Institutional / Educational
