PRESENT DAY SITE
Land Zoning Commericial Residential
1920’S WILSHIRE BLVD HAD JUST BEEN EXTENDED FROM EASTERN LOS ANGELES TO THE WEST COAST. RESIDENTIAL AREAS WITH VERY FEW HOUSES WHERE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE BOULEVARD.
1940’S BY THE 1940’S, SKYSCRAPERS WERE ESTABLISHE FROM EAST TO WEST ALONG WILSHIRE BOULEVARD. THE EXPANSION OF THE BUILDINGS WAS STOPPED DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW PATH.
1964 THE INTERSATE 405 WAS DEVELOPED AND HAS BECAME A MAJOR NORTH-SOUTH HIGHWAY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS HIGHWAY HAS A PROMONATE CONNECTION TO WESTOWOOD, AND THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
1969 THE FEDERAL BUILDING WAS BUILT ACROSS FROM THE VETERAN CEMETERY. IT CONTAINS 19 FLOOR LEVELS, AND CONTROLS THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, THE VA, MOST OF THE VARIOUS VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS, AND THE IRS.
PRESENT TODAY PROTEST ARE BEING HELD INFRONT OF THE FEDERAL BUILDING, IN HOPE THAT THEIR VOICE AND OPINION BE HEARD TO THE ENTIRE NATION, AND THEN GLOBALLY

Location: Downtown LosAngles S. Hill St and W. 4th St Site: Bunker Hill is a significant landmark for downtown Los Angeles. It connects people from different ethnic backgrounds and social
levels. The site is linked by the market and California Plaza. Site also acts as a hub for commuters, linking an underground rail sytem to above ground bus routes. California Plaza is located at the top of Bunker Hill and overlooks the site. The skyscrapers and Californa Plaza at the top of the hill are predominatly used by middle upperclass workers, and the market at the bottom of the hill is prodominatly used by lower class workers and immigrants. Part of the goal of this project is to link the two sites and create a reason for the different communities to interact.
Objective: Reintroduce the community to the chamber orchestra and reinvent the relationship between the community and the orchesra, and enhance this relationship through architecture.
External Reference: As an external reference, an acoustic musical instrument was required, in order to embody the spirit of the
chamber orchestra, as well as to teach the students about the type of music that would be performed. The study of the instrument should investigate how it creates sound through its form, components and use, and how these principles can be related to the site.
