Frogtown Riverside Center | IntuArch
Investigative Conceptualization on behalf of the LA River Corp Los Angeles / United States / 2012
3
On a donated property in Elysian Valley (“Frogtown”) the project’s design is generated from an investigation into the site’s most prominent existing feature: the riverside recreation path. As it approaches the site, the ground level path would bifurcate to create an inclined exit ramp with access to an elevated plaza, where leisure riders, walkers, tourists, and runners can rest. A cantilevered viewing platform brings the visitor outward for a view over the river, a visible exaggeration of the recreation path itself. Below the plaza is a multipurpose space dedicated to the community and to the arts. Adjacent to the site, the Army Corps is scheduled to spend $1 billion on upgrades to the Los Angeles River for new r ecreation options and restoring the natural ecosystem.
