The focus of the project was geared toward thinking radically. What is radical architecture? Is it some extreme shape, system, or structure?

The idea of being radical is as open-ended as the designer allows it to be. Through the development of the high school, we challenged the daily transportation, flooding, and program of a bay-front building. Aggregating horizontal and vertical elements to create the form of the high school, we were able to accommodate the issues of flooding, transportation, and circulation along the 26-acre site. The school’s program includes a lighthouse, pole and spring diving, aquatic research, oyster and algae farming, a rowing simulator, a botanical garden, classrooms, an auditorium, a cafeteria, a library, student lounges, and a student gallery. The project’s overall goal questioned how radical can architecture be and to what extremes can we design.
