One Day in LA. Revisiting an architectural project is to open the mind to new knowledge

Abstract

Could an architecture project be revisited repeatedly, and still surprise you with new possibilities? That question crossed the mind of this author when she read the approach suggested by EURAU this year. This was the reason why she decided to produce a new review of her own Master Final Project by a different focus, discovering, however, dimensions which have been always there. This project titled One Day in LA, submitted itself like a personal travel in which its author approached to Los Angeles and its imaginaries by exploring some ways of life that take place in the multiple architectures of that provisional city. An experimental research whereby was possible to explore new scenarios which emerged by the combination of architectural techniques with others from different fields, like the films one. With the aim of starting a discourse about some political, social and cultural factors, which are universally valid, exemplified in this work in Los Angeles.
