Los Angeles’ glass tower, designed by Eric Owen Moss Architects, is completely revitalizing the locale.
With the aid of a rail line to encourage the redesign, the tower is part of the redevelopment of South Central LA, an area plagued with poverty and violence.
The design invokes the theme of a ribbon that allows each floor of the structure to be entirely open.
Constructed using steel tubes filled with concrete, the variance lies in the changing of each floors’ heights.
