Youth Performing Arts Center

The Youth Performing Arts Center Leadership Council for the Carmel Unified School District retained John Thodos to develop a concept that would allow for and anticipate the uncertainties of the program, a variable budget and allow for the evolution of unknown future facilities.

The design concept, that was developed and was accepted by the leadership council, is based upon a major glass spine connecting distinct buildings forms containing the, as of now, undefined functions.

The flexibility of the scheme allows for theater facilities and class rooms and workshops for the various arts, to be constructed in whole or scaled down, if the budget dictated. The addition or removal of any function does not destroy the idea of the whole.
