The project proposes a new K-12 school on a predominantly disused industrial block in Trenton, New Jersey. Given the diverse set of programs, the project seeks ways to produce unconventional relationships between repetitive elements and strategies to architecturally unify singular and idiosyncratic program elements as a means to strike a balance between internally-motivated constraints and extrinsic urban factors. The building adoptS a system of aggregation that gradually cluster, manipulate and transform, considering the figure-ground as a coherent architectural syntax.
