Plazas
Walking from the lower plaza, you ascend slowly sloping stairs which bring you to the upper plaza. These stairs form around the structure, dictated by the shape of both its base and the surrounding community infrastructure. A plinth set into the stair allows for outdoor solo performances, where spectators can sit on the stair or in the lower plaza. From these two spaces lifts into the air, the immense structure of the school.
