Next Stop - Stage Loop

Futuristic Highway-embeded Performance center



Project name: 

    Next Stop - Stage Loop

Location:

    Interchange of Highway 405
    and Highway 90, Los Angeles

Date: 

    2022 Fall


This project discusses performance as a human right. It provides a varity of performing prototypes to meet the demands of both professionals and non-professionals. In the stage loop, the traditional roles of performers and audience are undetermined. People are surrounded by theaters at different scales both inside and outside of the building. It is up to the people what roles they decided to play. By embeding the performing space to the highway itself, not only could the performers gain more viewership, but also make the event of performance a casual idea that deeply rooted in the city of Los Angeles. The The highway junction is very much like a montage in a film where people from different walks of life come across each other yet probably not knowing each other. It is an infrustractural icon in Los Angeles with the majority of the citizens hating it.
