| Architecture is at its strongest and purest form when it performs beyond the required program functions. The Boyle Heights Civic Center does just that, as it is more than a civic center. It engages the public in a seamless integration that optimizes the usage of the site. The ground plane shifts and manipulates to attract the usual pedestrian into the building. In the same way, the ground plane reacts to the façade, and thereby creates dynamic interior spaces inside the building, and also provides great aperture for views around the city. A main feature of the building is the wide hallways that program the circulation to encourage encounters among the people. In this way, the grand public gesture is not only in the exterior of the building, but also inside the very core of the building. |
