Crenshaw High School’s award-winning choir has performed worldwide, including at the White House for President Obama. Designed to become the heart of campus life, their new Performing Arts Building called for a grand arrival and a stage worthy of the community’s talent. Our goal was to create signage that could welcome daytime and nighttime visitors alike. At the entry, we perforated metal screens to play with light and shadow. Inside, we used light fixtures as drawing tools to create vibrant, radiating shapes framing the stage and animating the space.
