Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts / Allied Works Architecture
Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts is a building that supports the production of young artists. Where the school excels in the academic preparation of its students, it aspires to forge rigorous, creative thinkers and makers in spaces that inspire ideas and provoke experimentation and production. The 200,000 sqf expansion to the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, designed by Allied Works Architecture, includes areas for the core programs of music, dance, theater, and visual arts, as well as spaces for assembly and traditional academic instruction. The expansion is organized as simple loft spaces of concrete, brick and glass that rotate around and extend outward from an open-air central amphitheater, known to students as the ‘Green Room’. The program clusters are contained in distinct volumes that provide individual identity yet overlap adjacent disciplines in plan and section. Project description, images and drawings following the break.

Located in the Arts District in central Dallas, the school has a history of firsts: as Dallas’ first all-black high school when it opened in 1922, then in 1974 as Dallas’ first public arts magnet high school. In direct contrast to the surrounding cultural institutions, important buildings that preserve and present icons of the visual and performing arts, the new school manifests the qualities of creative industry: workshop, forge, studio and factory. The forms are elemental, the space and materials – raw and visceral.
this context, the building has two charges: to compress and hold the creative energy of the school, while simultaneously connecting to the surrounding community with the production and presentation of new ideas and possibilities. The community is invited to share in the life and vitality of the students with glimpses into workshops and studios and through various presentation venues, yet the students feel protected. The architecture nurtures the individual creative pursuit while
inspiring
the students to send their work out into the world. It is a place where art, artists and ideas are made, a place of genesis in work and life.

New performance spaces are contained throughout the building, inviting the public to share in the energy of the school. These include an experimental ‘Black Box’ Theater held by the wings of the existing 1922 building, and the 475-seat Montgomery Arts Theater, a full proscenium theater that serves as a dramatic new public gateway from the Arts District.

From within, the life of the school is revealed in two four-story atriums that provide circulation, light and views. Substantial new outdoor areas create spaces of interaction and protection from the elements. Overall, the building strikes a balance between porosity and density, openness and introspection, in oder that students are able to create freely and take risks with their art while still being engaged with their city, their audience, and the surrounding Arts District.

Entering the building one is instantly engaged in movement, sound and activity. The four story building pinwheels around the outdoor performance space. It is an urban school, vertical and condensed. The artistic disciplines are encouraged to intermingle by their room placement and through the myriad and diverse spaces to reflect, converse, practice and perform.

The building is filled with the sights and sounds of production. Music comes from every corner, art hangs from the walls and balconies, dancers stretch on the railings and actors rehearse their lines in the halls. The building provides raw classrooms and studios for practice and production, while the corridors, atria and courtyards support the theater of collective movement and interaction. There are also infinite possibilities to find space for oneself; stairs, edges and landings to sit and write, practice and reflect.

位于中部的达拉斯艺术区，学校有一个历史事件：作为达拉斯第一个黑人高中1922打开时，然后在1974作为达拉斯第一个公共艺术磁铁高中。在直接对比周围的文化机构，即视觉和表演艺术保存和目前的图标的重要建筑物，新的学校表现创意产业的特质：车间，伪造，工作室和工厂。形式元素，空间和材料–原和内脏。
这样的背景下，建设有两项指控：压缩和学校举办的创造性能量，同时连接到周边社区的生产和新的想法和可能性的呈现。社区是被邀请分享在进入车间、工作室和通过各种场地介绍学生的生命和活力，但学生受到保护的感觉。建筑哺育个人创意的追求而

建筑充满生产的景象和声音。音乐中的每一个角落，艺术品挂在墙、阳台，舞者伸展在栏杆和演员的台词在大厅里排练。建设提供了实践和生产原料的教室和工作室，在走廊，中庭和庭院支持集体运动和相互作用的剧院。也有无限的可能性，寻找空间为己任；楼梯，边缘和着陆坐下来写，
