Description

"A 200,000 sq. ft. building was intended to have housed community facilities and two semi-autonomous schools serving a total of 1,450 students. The building was to have been a part of the Boston Standard Component System Program, a major experiment in the development of standardized building systems for schools. This dictated a steel-framed structure with a limited range of bay sizes. To this, the Halasz' added a vocabulary of self-supporting masonry cavity walls that operate independently of the frame to make a set of smaller space definitions." From "Imre Halasz, Anthony Halasz", by Gaspar and Timon, 2002.
