This studio aimed to explore original, nuanced, subtle, critical and yet progressive ways, in which to speculate on and materialize this historically persistent paradox. The studio project is a new building for Los Angeles Dance Project, a progressive Dance company based in Downtown Los Angeles known for its research and contemporary programming addressing the needs of various stakeholders and the diversity of the performing arts and to contemporary dance practices. Designed and imagined specifically for dance, the new building, its main hall, and other supporting spaces, will aim to become the premiere location to perform and experience dance in Los Angeles. In my case, I chose to preserve the existing building and instead reactivate the site in a new and unique way.
