A camp for At-Risk Los Angeles eighth-graders with strong academic and leadership potential, Paint Rock is the first part of a high school mentoring program. The camp comprises 16 buildings clustered at the entrance to a canyon: boys’ & girls’ cabins; dining hall; director’s house; counselors’ lodge and stable. This project was brought to UVA graduate studios for conceptual study by Marianne Thompson and Charlie Rose as part of their firm’s design process. CHARLES ROSE ARCHITECTS
