School for the Physical City

New York, NY

Description:
This is one of several small focus schools inaugurated by the NYC Board of Education in the early 1990s. Designed on five floors of an office tower, using color-coded elements, maps, wall markings, and a compass, it became a popular alternative middle and high school whose architectural elements demonstrate urban principles.
