THE SCHOOL OF COLFAX IS A COLLABORATION PROJECT WITH SULAIMA SALIM AND STEPHAN SUEDMEYER IN RESEARCH OF A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL THAT IS CONTEXTUALLY SUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE WITH THE HISTORY AND FABRIC OF EAST COLFAX AVENUE IN DENVER COLORADO. THE SCHOOL IS DESIGNED IN THE AIM OF PROVIDING A DEMOCRATIC ENVIRONMENT TO STUDENTS IN THE VICINITY OF DENVER TO LEARN THE ARTISTRIES IN AUTO-TUNING CULINARY ARTS AND GLASS-MAKING. THE SCHOOL IS DESIGNED IN THE IMAGE AND REFLECTION OF EAST COLFAX AVENUE AND ITS NEIGHBORHOODS. THE SCHOOL’S IMAGE IS A COMPILATION OF FORMS AND SHAPES ALONG EAST COLFAX AVENUE AND RECOMPILED INTO A MASSIVE STRUCTURE THAT WOULD REGENERATE AS COLFAX AVENUE PROGRESSES THROUGH TIME. AND THIS SCHOOL IS A TESTAMENT OF THE WILD GRITTY AND INDOMITABLE NATURE OF EAST COLFAX AVENUE THE LONGEST COMMERCIAL STREET IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
