SCHOOLYARD EXPEDITION

Beginning within the schoolhouse and then into the schoolyard and beyond, the Los Angeles Urban Rangers and new Sundown Schoolhouse students will collectively explore the local environment in relation to its broader urban context. This will serve as a group-generated orientation to the site, but also an opportunity to consider what it means to actively inhabit the city and to seed ideas for place-responsive projects down the line.

Sundown Schoolhouse, opening Autumn 2006, is a geodesic home based educational environment with an activist mission. In the classic model of the schoolhouse, students of many ages come together to study a diversity of disciplines. It is a school for the gently radical design, literary, performing & visual arts. We foster models for active creative practices that engage with the messy realities of the world around us, from our relationships with the diverse peoples in our city to the eroding natural and urban environments we inhabit.
