As part of the Gap Weeks summer program, students of CraftNOW Create can attend the June 30th program at the Center for Architecture and Design to reimagine the swimming pool and surrounding area of the Hancock Park Playground. The program will focus on architecture and the built environment as the medium in which multiple design disciplines are integrated, such as landscape architecture, urban planning, mural and furniture design. Students will have the opportunity to explore new materials while they discover new talents and interests that may create a roadmap to pursue and succeed in higher education and careers
