Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Confused and de-facto planning characterizes the existing fabric of Los Angeles’ Exposition Park. Formerly an agricultural park, Expo Park has now become a drosscape of parking and decrepid structures, including its relic, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This master plan calls for a redevelopment and reorganization that creates a more succinct and clear hierarchy of program and structure. The Coliseum is put at the forefront of the modifications and inspire an “all roads lead to Rome” idea.

The driving design behind the site plan is a bermed entryway that blurs the distinction between stadium and landscape, such that the two become one. The West endzone itself is the berm, creating three distinct terraces that look back towards the preserved peristyle.
