The Los Angeles River covers nearly 51 miles, stretching southeast from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach. Though having access to the LA River, local communities adjacent to the river were under development, making its young population in poor social communicating while seeking an unordinary project on the site.
The (long distance) bus station and water treatment plant project connects the future community of Lincoln Heights (and greater L.A. beyond) to the L.A. River by overlapping layers of movement by water, vehicles and people, and aims to make the community more aware of public systems and programs: ecological, sustainable and transit-oriented. It draws attention to water scarcity, simultaneously celebrating the back of house, and technological innovations in terms of structure and form, to convert such large-scale spaces of the industrial scale to that of the human body.
