LA Civic Park Redesign Wins Planning & Design Awards
A design that repurposes downtown Los Angeles� long-neglected civic center into an urban destination and pedestrian artery has netted two major design awards from architecture and landscape architecture associations.
As conceived by Los Angeles-based Rios Clementi Hale Studios, the new Los Angeles Civic Park connects a 12-acre keystone site across four blocks in downtown Los Angeles. Long a patchwork that failed to unify downtown, the new Civic Park promises to be both a successful urban place and a concourse lacing together civic and cultural icons, such as City Hall and the Music Center.
