Located within the industrial corridor of Mission Junction, near Los Angeles Union Station, this project reimagines a neglected infrastructural landscape as a living incubator for cross-sector creative work. The project challenges traditional distinctions between architecture, infrastructure, and art, transforming a residual site that is shaped by rail lines, freeways, and warehouses into a cultural production hub where creation, observation, and habitation coexist. The project’s central ambition is to design an architectural form that creates an environment where art and life are inseparable. The design responds to the layered complexity of Los Angeles’ infrastructural networks by introducing a multi-tiered structure of intersecting decks, bridges, and vertical cores. These elements create a three-dimensional framework that supports movement, flexible programming, and visual permeability. By embedding live-work studios, fabrication labs, biology research spaces, and exhibition platforms within one interconnected system, the architecture functions as both a refuge for the individual artist and a collective memory archive for the community. The Mission Junction site posed significant physical and environmental challenges as it is bounded by active transportation corridors, heavy industrial use, and acoustic pollution. However, rather than isolate itself, the building embraces these conditions, turning the surrounding infrastructure into an active participant in the architectural composition. Elevated circulation paths mitigate ground-level congestion while framing views of rail lines and cityscapes. The project’s placement between industrial and cultural districts situates it as a bridge between the city’s past modes of production and its emerging creative economy. Material expression and construction methods mirror the hybrid nature of the site. Exposed steel trusses, tensile cables, and modular prefabricated systems allow for rapid assembly and future adaptability, reflecting the industrial themes of the infrastructure now turned into architecture. Semi-transparent panels and mesh enclosures control light and acoustics while maintaining the building’s open character. Each level of the structure accommodates distinct yet interconnected functions: lower levels house fabrication and testing facilities; mid-levels offer flexible studio and exhibition spaces; and upper decks provide communal terraces and observation platforms. The circulation within the building and the site is a sequence of thresholds where artists and visitors navigate through overlapping volumes, suspended walkways, and light-filtering voids that evoke a sense of motion and transformation. Work in Progress (HOME) draws inspiration from the infrastructure of the site, tectonic leftover materials, and Los Angeles’ industrial living. The project follows a lineage of experimental urban propositions, redefining the role of architecture in an age of transition. This project is an object, but it is also a living framework, one that absorbs, transforms, and gives new meaning to the industrial memory of the city.
