Pivotal Connections
As architecture seems to be turning to façade treatments of skins and panels, it tends to hide the essence of the buildings true identity. This project does not entertain the idea of a treatment that hides and distorts the experience of interior and exterior relations. The Pivot building connects people in ways that mimics the behavior of the ways information is traded and exchanged. The building projects out to the commu-nity and reciprocates the connection both physically and digitally. Because the building is connected to the HUB network it is the interface for both the LA HUB and the individual HUB users. Each fl oor has two courtyards to escape the interior space and offer a relief to the users. The circulation and interior spatial organization are conceptually a series of loops made possible by the free plan design. The free plan of-fers the opportunity for the users to self organize and reorganize creating a range of spatial typologies. The courtyard can build and facilitate a creative moment which inspires an exchanges of ideas and a deeper connection to the HUB communities.
Concept
Convergence
Courtyards
A point of convergence is created where a intersection of information and people exchange ideas.
The convergence creates the opportunity for people to meet and interact.
