In my sculpture seminar, we were asked to propose an imaginary monument in a specific real site of our choosing anywhere in the world.
My monument, “Public Plazas” is a series of landscaped public benches that reclaim the green space of a corporate plaza “Liberty Park” as a public space while also honoring the small businesses that make Koreatown the vibrant community that it is.
I used Google Street view to inventory and screen capture every single one of the fifteen strip mall plazas in Koreatown. I then used ArcGIS Pro to map out these plazas within the area of Koreatown. Next, I translated thse data points into a formal architectural language. I used Illustrator to turn the plaza signage into public bench designs and I used the mapping data to dicate the landscaping of benches within the grass park.
