ARCH 793AB: Practicing Time: The Architecture of the LA 2028 Olympics

Instructor: Amy Murphy, PhD

Healing the Environment Over Time

Ideally, if properly conceived, the Olympics can promote positive infrastructure improvement in the host city, affecting the transportation system, housing facilities, and engaging the public spaces. My thesis proposal aims to create an adaptive architecture for various uses after the Olympics, contributing to the long-term development of Los Angeles after the 2028 Summer Games. Designing with a sense of time and adaptability ensures that architecture remains functional and sustainable for generations. In my project, I propose to use the development of practice archery facilities along the Los Angeles River. This project will amplify natural habitat restoration planned for the South Gate Community and provide new youth programming for the next generation of Los Angeles.
