Four competing designs unveiled for Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles
The four competing proposals for the revamp of LA's Pershing Square have been finalised and revealed, by designers including Morphosis and James Corner Field Operations (+ slideshow).
Set to be presented to the public today, the schemes are evolutions of initial concepts that were shown last December, and all four aim to revitalise the square, which is one of the city's oldest public parks.
A vast lawn would be accompanied by a garden, a children's playground and a water feature in Morphosis and SWA's scheme "Downtown LA's renaissance as a premiere location for retail, offices, dining, entertainment, and residences calls for a central square that enhances the district's emerging position within a greater social, political, environmental and economic context," the team said.
"Our proposal reasserts Pershing Square as a dynamic living platform that animates the urban centre and advances the long-term vision of the city of Los Angeles."
