The expanded aluminum mesh forms an open scrim-like wall at the street’s edge. Behind the mesh, skin are two pre-engineered steel buildings that house sixty-eight individual artist studios, classrooms, administrative offices and exhibit spaces. The open space between the buildings forms a courtyard with shade trees and outdoor workshops.
