Center for Architecture | Los Angeles. This project was focused on a revitalization of the Los Angeles River at the Sixth Street Bridge. The Center was programed for gallery spaces, educational spaces, and a maker space. I began the design of this project with extensive formal and material studies, looking at the bundling of programs along the river bed and the skin as more than just a facade but also a structural and environmental element of the project. Inspired by the evolutionarily optimized shape of neurons, which carry information throughout the brain, I sought out to create a building condition that connected the various conditions of the given site; the riverbed, the bridge, and the river bank. The final design of the building included a lighting system of acrylic rods that brought controlled pin points of natural light into the spaces, and could be lit up at night to create a lightscape on the buiding exterior. The final model for this project consisted of over 100 indivually cast resin-concrete hybrid panels.
