cityLAb, times 10
Year: 2017
cityLAb, times 10 celebrates the tenth anniversary of the founding of cityLAB-UCLA and looks ahead to the next ten years. It advances architecture as a radical urban ingredient, with impacts that can be orders of magnitude greater than any individual building, by “powers of ten.” By bringing together research and design, and through collaborations between the university, the architectural profession, citizens, and municipalities, cityLAB models a new form of practice where prototypical projects leverage design to open new possibilities for the urban fabric of Southern California and beyond.
Rather than a retrospective, this exhibition is projective; rather than a presentation of completed works, it shows a laboratory of evolving experimentation. The three cityLAB themes of desk, neighbor, and place demonstrate how multi-year, multifaceted, and unconventional architectural studies weave together to advance new design approaches. They allude to the intersections between the body, politics, and the environment – guiding commitments for cityLAB’s practices. To pursue an even more expansive view of L.A.’s coming decade, six tactical proposals by young architects are featured.
