A polycentric plaza generated from the Owens Lake pattern.

Tracing the Owens Lake pattern, the project abstracts a system that self-generates the plaza's surfaces and structures, demonstrating LADWP's work while sheltering the ground beneath broad roof planes.

Three layers of pathways serve different groups of visitors, and columns of varied spatial character carry different programs through the site.
