LOOKING TO THE PAST. Located on an existing cotton field this proposed program space is a tribute to the once present orange groves that once ran along Baseline Road until development instigated their demise. The project proposes the north side of the canal convert to an orange grove park with rest areas and programed community activities while the south side is converted into a community garden focused on education of the different foods grown in the southwest. The project is connected by a meandering bridge allowing the public to interact with the water.

The site is located between two buildings and their parking lots. The project purposes the under-utilized space be transformed into a stage for local art and community spaces. With murals that ever change, large art installations and bridges that create the a plaza for events the space aims to bring the community together with local art and festivals.

proposed program
is all about improving accessibility. The existing conditions allow for people to pass through but not safely and with shade. Pedestrian bridges allow users to cross north to south connecting the neighborhoods. This portion of the project aims to aid the problem while giving each neighborhood an identity by allowing them to design their own mural.
