The formal choices an architect makes impact the range of behavioral outcome a building affords. Thus, the Los Angeles Ballet School is aimed at exploring programming as a means of generating organization models and conceptual narratives that shift basic morphologies into new spatial realms. This is primarily to investigate the gradient of space between architectural form and cultural action in which cultural action is understood as the flow of people and the distribution of functional uses. The exploration may lead to a renewed model of spatial interaction that would affect the traditional systems of order.

Programs from the brief are set into three different categories – dancing, watching and learning – according to the activity of each program. Less active, static programs are located on the lower levels while the more active, dynamic programs are located on the upper levels. The shift of the program volume and expansion of the massing creates a void that would be used as a connective tissue for all the programs.

The circulation is divided into two separated connections. One would connect the lower level to the mid level together that is accessible to the public up to where the large auditorium performance mass is located. The second is only accessible by students and faculties connecting the mid level to the upper level where the classrooms are.
