Thesis Text: This project reimagines LA Union Station as a transit marketplace. Through an enmeshment of ordinary Los Angeles building types (car washes, strip malls, diners, ADUs, and storage buildings) with the existing station, ambiguous architecture emerges that is neither monument nor generic building, neither colonial nor vernacular. The result is a reimagined Union Station where market and transit coexist within a new form that can no longer be read as any single style or type.
