SAF � RIVERVIEW MUSIC QUADRANGLE
Sarasota, Florida
The design takes full advantage of fundamental features of sustainable design present in the original structure – such as natural ventilation, shading, and the use of natural light – that are finding renewed popularity in sustainable architecture today.
The Sarasota Architectural Foundation (SAF) is leading the drive to develop support for the Riverview Music Quadrangle adaptive use and financing plan. The plan was submitted in an international design and financial plan competition, funded in part by a matching grant from the World Monuments Fund “Modernism at Risk” program, founding sponsor, Knoll.
The RMQ design team is comprised of Diane Lewis RA, FAAR, Principal, for Architectural Adaptive Reuse; Peter Schubert, Design Director, for Master Planning and Design; Beckelman+Capalino, for strategic planning and community engagement; and Shanta D’Alanzo, Environmental Designer, as sustainability consultant.
The original Riverview High School, designed in 1957 and constructed in 1958, was Paul Rudolph’s largest commission in Florida and his first public project. Rudolph, who later served as dean of the Yale School of Architecture, became known as the father of the Sarasota School of Architecture.
The Sarasota County School Board postponed their plans to demolish the Rudolph building after an international outcry from the architecture and design community. Following a charette sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the board set a June 17, 2008, deadline to develop a plan that meets their criteria.
