The Site...
located in Boyle heights is wrapped around E 1st St, Anderson Street and the Saint Bernardino Freeway. The LA river and railway system running parralel to the site isolating Boyle heights from L.A. City. Boyle heights was previously predominantly inhabited by Japanese descendants, however in 1942 following the events of World Word II they were forced to relocate by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Some of the issues that are specific to Boyle Heights include having coal as it’s primary fuel source, which is not only bad for the environment, but finite in source. The droughts in Boyle Heights are even more impactful, because the water reserve is smaller due to higher expenses. There is also a history of gang violence , which worries parents of young children and in general isolates people instead of buidling a sense of community. This housing project addresses these issues through their designs.
