mercado del rio | 7th street bridge revitalization
PROJECT TEAM | lxw deign & et noir alex ward, principal guillermo grosjean, consultant
SITE | los angeles, california
PROJECT SCOPE |
located near boyle heights; a neighborhood on the east side of los angeles following the l.a. river, sits the 7th street bridge. this area has a population of about 100,000 people and is mainly compromised of latino ethnicity. lxw design has proposed a marketplace that can occupy the historic lower level space of the bridge. the space could become a destination point for angelenos and travelers alike while reconnecting this viaduct to the l.a. river and the river’s revitalization projects. the hope would be to create a space similar to the successful ‘grand central market’ with an appeal to the celebration of the hispanic cultures of los angeles.

SITE | los angeles, california
PROJECT SCOPE |
integrate a hybrid water reclamation facility that will stop los angeles’ watershed problems by reclaiming both local sewage and l.a. river’s watershed. using a system of swells and a localized living machine the facility is able to redistribute water that is normally wasted back to its community and also replenish los angeles’ depleting aquifers. these aquifers provide the city with clean drinking water ending its dependence on foreign water supplies thus creating a truly sustainable city. los angeles’ water supply and water cleaning systems were researched. a master plan was developed in order to determine the best placement for a water reclamation facility. the chosen site and surrounding community became an integral part of the water reclamation facility that absorbs its surrounds and disperses it back.
