This 2 kilometer long mixed-use project (retail, theater, educational, museum/exhibition, office, hotel, residential) ties together and activates an otherwise solemn downtown urban district.

I worked on this project at The Jerde Partnership, in the competition and concept design phases, as part of the core design team with Alex Lin & Kenneth Ho, and later Nalin Ramkumar, under the guide of head designer David Rogers. The following designers also participated: Martin Hsieh, Sami Khoury, Napoleon Merana, Ana Shin, Drew Shula, & Tarah Young. This project rolled at super-high speed & involved a huge team of consultants. The most difficult were programming the long space so as to bring people in & coordinating with the existing context to which we were ‘glueing’. I further/ particularly developed the theater programmatic designs and ideas for sustainability.

The images here belong to Jerde, and, unless otherwise noted, I produced them.

The 3D modeling team consists of Mindy Lee, Ian Camarillo, Francis Francisco, Dominik Martinez, Alex Lin & Kenneth Ho.
