Interesting Fact: The design of the building is inspired by the theme from "Harold and the Purple Crayon," the 1955 children's book by Crockett Johnson. It is organized around the notion that a line like Harold's can be embodied in a strategy for incorporating individual children's self-expression into the very fabric of the building itself, and that this could form the basis for a tradition that might continue on in time, giving every child who passes through its halls the chance to contribute a tangible piece of the school's very structure.
