Student Awards Jury Comments
The goal of this project was to design a central park for downtown
Los Angeles which can help to transform the city into a more livable
and viable place. The park design aims to accomplish three goals.
First, the park will serve as a linkage of the various buildings,
landmarks and districts within the city. Second, the park will make
people the priority. Right now, the city is designed for cars. To
make people a priority, the park must be a pedestrian friendly,
walkable space. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the park
will improve the quality of life for all who live, work, and visit
downtown Los Angeles, which is essential for the health and future
growth of the city.
