USC SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE - PROFESSOR SCOTT URIU -  LOS ANGELES PARALYMPICS CULTURAL CENTER

                                   Designing for a potential location to place a cultural center and basketball courts in the upcoming Paralympics hosted in Los Angeles, The Crossover involves a focus on balancing the continuation of ground floor commercial interaction from the main USC Village into the Great Lawn.

By reconnecting the two courts, one on ground-level and one semi-underground, there is a community space and an underground office space developed with the “gap” in the center of the project that allows nearby visitors to seek interest in not only the new community space, but the now more welcoming USC Village buildings that had been disconnected from the public due to security. Movement of solid and void are shown through the use of glass with the steel and wood structure to ensure sunlight and circulation throughout the various levels. Two separate courts are joined by a skybridge-inspired upper floor viewing space and an underground office area.
