The new Ghetto Film School campus in Los Angeles transforms an undeveloped slope into an urban garden of curiosity and exploration, bringing to life an artificial realm where the imaginary takes form and creativity can grow in abundance. Its traversable landscape of interconnected courtyard spaces becomes a sheltered fabric of outdoor spaces. Visitors are invited to wander among the architecture, find sanctuary beneath the canopy, and engage with a dynamic network of surfaces transitioning between softscape and hardscape where architecture and landscape interact as part of a single ecosystem.
