Concept Statement
Los Angeles is a dynamic city, drawing people and attention from around the world. To enhance the diverse elements of this cityscape, we seek to design a public space that supports chance meetings, people watching, civic engagement and other characteristics of urban life. We envision Angel City Park as a catalyst for urban synergy, a place where the elements of Los Angeles interact and create a vibrant urban rhythm that is greater than the sum of its parts.
