BROAD STUDIOS / CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF THE ARTS

The Broad Studios are comprised of 20 artist studios for the Masters Degree Program in Painting at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California. The non-hierarchical, village-like arrangement of the studios was an essential part of the concept. It attempted to reflect the loose, sometimes even anarchical approach that is central to this very progressive school of art.  At the same time the use of a standardized studio module was seen as egalitarian as well as cost effective.

The clerestory windows marking the roof of each workspace not only provide mythical north light for each student, they also attempt to express the uniqueness of the art studio as a building type.  Their shape and spectrum of color were an attempt to reinforce the special role of these buildings as a new focal point for the campus.
