THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF LA IS A MUSEUM PLACED ADJACENT FROM THE LA CITY HALL. THE MUSEUM WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND RECOGNITION FOR FORGOTTEN, DARK AND/OR HISTORY WIPED AWAY EITHER BEING LOST IN THE RECORDS OF CITY HALL, OR KEPT QUIET FOR ITS SHAMEFUL ACTIONS.
THE MUSEUM ALSO FOLLOWED KEY PEDAGOGIES:
- THE HUMAN CONDITION -TO ACT AS A DIALOGUE WITH THE CITY AND WORLD BEYOND
- SPATIALITY
- CONNECTION OR INTERVENTION TO LA GRAND PARK AND THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND IT
THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF LA MUSEUM MAKES A CONNECTION TO THE HUMAN CONDITION BY INTERACTING WITH THE ELEVATED TOPOGRAPHY OF DOWNTOWN LA AND RAISING IT. THE GREEN SPACE IS THEN CUT THROUGH BY AN INCISION LETTING THE GAPS OF THE MUSEUM SHOW AND ITS HISTORY AND EXHIBITS HIDDEN BELOW GROUND FOR SOMEONE TO FIND IT. THE SPACES WITHIN THIS MUSEUM EMBRACE HUMAN CONDITION AND CREATE SPACES OF VOLUME AND LIGHT BELOW GROUND AND OPENINGS THAT CAN BE SEEN FROM BELOW THE SURFACE. IN ITS WHOLENESS, THE MUSEUM IS A DISPLAY OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS ON EACH SIDE OF THE INCISION.
