This accelerated predesign package was compiled for a new experimental middle school in Beijing. The curriculum plans to leverage collaborative spaces to have an elective first approach. Three courtyards allow for a porous connection to the site and help to break down the massive scale. Various central courtyard bridges create multiple vantage points and various visual connections for the occupants.
