Carducci Associates has redesigned the quad at Cupertino High School to facilitate flexible and function everyday use and special events in a space that incorporates art, outdoor seating and dining, an amphitheater, native trees and plants, and permeable paving surfaces. Redwood Groves in the quad offer drama and fit with the upper quad area where there are existing Redwood Groves. The seatwalls are scattered into the amphitheater in a nautilus-inspired shape to allow for seating but maintain open access and flexibility. The front area is designed to allow for flow toward the entry and under the bridge with curving leaf planters.
