Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA by SMP ArchitectsWednesday, May 15th, 2013Article source: SMP Architects Youth United for Change, a teenage activist group in this distressed urban neighborhood, was instrumental in charging the School District of Philadelphia (SDP) to create a smaller high school that would encourage students to graduate rather than drop out with little hope for the future.

Jackhammer in Philadelphia by PlumbobTuesday, April 19th, 2011First LEED-H Gold Residential/Commercial live/work space in the City of Philadelphia Formerly a convenience store and significant loitering/drug dealing corner property, neighbors seemed pleased when it caught on fire and was demolished in 2005. The architects felt it was important to restore the life and sense of community to this small but unique corner of Fishtown. While only 14’-0” wide and barely a 700 sf site footprint, they managed to create a vibrant, light-filled commercial space on the ground floor and basement as well as one residential dwelling on the 2nd and 3rd floors with a large green roof.
