Designing Flow

This studio focuses on the design, development, and application of design and community engagement practice for the Los Angeles River Integrated Design Lab and the G2 & G1 parcels. The fundamental question of the studio is: how do we make a design process for the Los Angeles River that is at once inclusive, imaginative, and technically informed? And more specifically, how do we employ the physical model and the LA-RIDL lab in this pursuit? Through its focus on a specific parcel and opportunity the ADR studio seeks to answer larger questions about how we can make the design of multi-functional infrastructure inclusive and imaginative and increase their success. The studio will culminate in a final “fair” at the lab both presenting and demonstrating the student work. Students can express preferences for multiple tracks of study.
