Program context & project planning

How the program works

The architect connects art and construction

The municipality's role guidance identifies the project architect as a link between the art process, building design team and facility interests. For an unbuilt facility, artwork decisions therefore need to be coordinated with architectural development rather than treated as a final decorative addition.

When must artwork requirements enter the building drawings and construction schedule?

A shared school library hosts collaborative work

Anchorage highlights Word Cloud by Alice Könitz and Won Ju Lim at the joint West High School and Romig Middle School library. The named institutional setting is a useful precedent for work serving more than one school community. It does not establish an active procurement at that site.
