Project Concept
Our concept for this project is to re-imagine the typology for a community space. One that is inserted into an area of need. The typology change is needed to reflect the ever changing nature of Los Angeles and promote a sense of awareness. We believe that accompanying an awareness space with mixed use and business, we can create a dynamic space for the diverse community. We propose to implement this concept with 3 manifestations of our idea. The first: Creation of “the machine Wall” A vertical mass intended to provide the life and support for the building. The second: Street Scaping for a car driven city to promote walkability. The Third: is this idea of a future implementation. these three core ideas begin to re-think the way that Los Angeles plans for the future. our hope is that this can become an urban model for re-thinking the way large urban cities progress in the future.
