ARCH698B: Advanced Design-Research
As the future feels infinite and change inevitable, the value of parks has surged, but their design has seen little change in a century. This studio asks students to imagine how Exposition Park can be the most valuable open space in the Southern California region for the surrounding community, and for people from around the globe. Students are investigating relationships between public space and human physical and mental health, how we can decolonize public space via cultural meaning, adapt to ecological and climate futures, create queer time and space, and how Expo Park can extend the impact of learning.
