“HILLACAM” by TheeAe (Ihe Evolved Architectural Eclectic), Hong Kong. TheeAe (The Evolved Architectural Eclectic) considers Los Angeles’ diversity when proposing the museum as “a new cultural platform that connects people from different walks of life,” by simultaeneously offering enclosed cultural spaces and an open, sculpted, outdoor landscape. The tall building (five levels plus garden roof) combines an undulating facade along Wilshire Boulevard to the south with “hill” element sloping into the park on the property’s north side. The jury remarked that the dramatic hybrid design would make it a “destination building” cleverly designed to sustain the urbanity of Wilshire on one side while extending the bucolic nature of the park on the other. “The Wilshire facade becomes a kinetic wall, imparting a strong urban experience that changes as you drive by, which is how most Angelenos experience the city,” noted the jury.“ "The back facade, a built hillside, is a landscape event that adds a surprising new participatory dimension to Hancock Park. This will be a hill you want to climb. #lacma #losangels #museum #designcompetition2020 #hill #theeae #theeaearchitects #urbanize.la #architecturalrecord #hillacma #lacma #wilshireblvd #lacmamuseum #finalist (at LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ifUXzFuN2/?igshid=c0bu6ww4tnpp
