圣塔莫尼卡学院（SMC）的媒体和设计中心（CMD）是对该校旧的娱乐与技术学院的改造和扩建。这个占地3.5英亩的项目包括建造一个30,000平方英尺的教学楼和翻新现有的50,000平方英尺的教学设施；为KCRW（一个授权给学校的公共广播电台）建造一个新的三层楼；以及一个新的七层停车场。一个带有水景和表演舞台的庭院展示在建筑群的中心。位于 “硅滩”–主要媒体公司和科技创业公司的所在地–CMD使学校能够将其所有专注于媒体内容开发和设计的项目统一在一个校区。

The Santa Monica College (SMC) Center for Media and Design (CMD) is a renovation and expansion of the school’s old Academy of Entertainment & Technology. The 3.5-acre project includes the construction of a 30,000-square-foot instructional wing and renovation of an existing 50,000-square-foot teaching facility; a new, three-story building for KCRW, a public radio station licensed to the school; and a new, seven-level parking structure. A courtyard with water features and a performance stage is showcased in the center of the complex. Located in ‘Silicon Beach’ – home to major media firms and tech startups – the CMD enables the school to unite all of its programs focused on media content development and design on one campus.

我们的设计过程从密集的课程分析、教室访问、设施参观、客户研讨会和愿景会议开始。早期，客户清楚地认识到，仅靠教学教育不足以应对一个不断变化的世界，因为学生在工作场所应用学术知识已经变得越来越困难。经过几周的设想，设计团队确定，将CMD和KCRW联合起来的基本想法是讲故事。因此，我们开始创造作为叙事工具的建筑，将校园塑造成一连串的体验，展示教育是一个渐进的循环。这三座建筑和中央庭院通过以下叙述代表了学生从高等教育到职业世界的发展过程。

Our design process began with an intensive period of curriculum analysis, classroom visits, facility tours, client workshops, and visioning sessions. Early on, it became clear that the Client considered instructional education alone insufficient preparation for a world in constant flux, as it has become increasingly difficult for students to apply academic knowledge in the workplace. After several weeks of visioning, the Design Team determined that the fundamental idea uniting the CMD and KCRW is storytelling. Thus, we set out to create architecture that acts as a narrative vehicle, shaping the campus into a sequence of experiences that showcase education as a progressive cycle. The three buildings and central courtyard represent a student’s progression from higher education to the professional world via the following narrative:

翻修后的媒体技术大楼。到达+发展
翻新后的5万平方英尺的建筑，接受了全面的内部重新设计，由教室和办公室组成，沿着一条展开的黄丝带指示的中央路径分布。室内玻璃墙最大限度地增加了教室的光线和透明度，展示了学生们的想法–信息。

Renovated Media Technology Building: Arrival + Development
The renovated 50,000-square-foot building, which received a complete interior redesign, consists of classrooms and offices distributed along a central path indicated by an unfolding yellow ribbon. Interior glass walls maximize light and transparency into the classrooms, exhibiting students’ ideas-in-formation.

新媒体技术扩建。实验+发现
展开的彩带一直延伸到30,000平方英尺的扩建部分，在那里，学生可以在专业级的工作空间中探索和实验他们的想法。这个两层楼的教学设施现在拥有一个180个座位的放映礼堂、一个带有控制室的大型制作室、多个用于后期制作的编辑台、高端计算机室和一个无线电广播室，此外还有教室、合作空间和各种各样的学生支持服务和设施。

New Media Technology Addition: Experimentation + Discovery
The unfolding ribbon continues into the 30,000-square-foot addition, wherein students can explore and experiment with their ideas in professional-grade workspaces. The two-story instructional facility now holds a 180-seat screening auditorium, a large production suite with control booths, multiple editing bays for post-production work, high-end computer rooms, and a radio broadcasting suite, in addition to classrooms, spaces for collaboration, and a wide variety of student support services and amenities.

新的KCRW媒体中心。成熟+现实世界的应用
新的34,000平方英尺的媒体中心标志着KCRW在其35年的历史中首次拥有一个独立的建筑。户外舞台、观众席和大型表演室使社区有更多机会通过活动与电视台接触。作为媒体融合的专业中心，KCRW是这一叙事的理想和逻辑的终点。以类似的内部路径和开放的工作空间为特征，该站将分享其资源，以鼓励创造性的合作和教育互惠。

New KCRW Media Center: Maturation + Real-World Application
The new 34,000-square-foot Media Center marks the first time KCRW will have a standalone building in its 35-year history. An outdoor stage, audience viewing gallery, and a large performance studio allow the community more opportunities to engage with the station through events. As a professional center for the convergence of media, KCRW is the ideal and logical endpoint for this narrative. Characterized by a similar internal path and open workspaces, the station will share its resources to encourage creative collaboration and educational reciprocity.

院子。创意合作+教育互惠
连接所有这些体验的是新的18,000平方英尺的院子。这个中央空间有一个咖啡馆、活动基础设施和支持性景观，鼓励合作和互动，同时使所有的CMD项目能够公开汇聚成一个单一的创意社区。

Courtyard: Creative Collaboration + Educational Reciprocity
Connecting all of these experiences together is the new 18,000-square-foot courtyard. Complete with a café, event infrastructure, and supportive landscaping, this central space encourages collaboration and interaction while enabling all CMD programs to publicly converge into a single creative community.
