CAPA High School

The Philadelphia School of the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) is nearly hidden behind it formidable facade and students rarely use their generous front lawn. The Collaborative’s conceptual design shows how colorful elements like “stair tables”, an amphitheater, and a sculptural colonnade can bring student life and art out front and connect CAPA to the Avenue of the Arts. http://www.cdesignc.org/work/connecting-capa-conceptual-design-for-enhancing-capa-and-the-avenue-of-the-arts
