The judges were impressed with the cohesive and visually subdued presentation, highlighting the beautiful analysis and strong renderings. They particularly appreciated the ambition of the proposed changes to the river, as well as the thoughtful incorporation of community elements, such as the Compton Cowboys and agricultural programming. The project\u2019s consistent flow and well-executed diagrams made the thought process easy to follow, and the concept diagrams were bold and well-presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project challenges barriers created by the abandoned Compton Par 3 Golf Course and the reach of the LA River that runs along its banks by transforming two halves into an interconnected natural refuge for human and non human beings. Offering a place of rest for both the community of Compton and the migratory Steelhead Trout, this park will provide a symbolic experience through interactive sculptural works that tether visitors to the trout’s journey through the LA River Watershed. These works will provide a powerful reminder of the connection between humans and the natural world that supports us. By transforming the site into a public park we have the opportunity to restore part of the historic LA River Floodplain, reconnect valuable wildlife corridors and migratory habitat, and provide respite and new recreational opportunities to the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
