3 COMPETITION CHALLENGE This competition relies on the development of a purpose for the site that must take into account the existing and future environmental, social, and economic elements. The objective is to design an adaptive reuse program for the existing Historical Lincoln Heights Los Angeles City Jail site which incorporates and meets the following guidelines: 1. Preserves the historical elements of the building 2. Creates a locally sustaining program 3. Promotes the connection between urban environments and natural ecosystems 4. Creates a strong connection with Rivers, Parks, and Habitat 5. Encourages a sense of community within the surrounding areas 6. Shows awareness of local economic needs 7. Reflects the intent of the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan and the River Improvement Overlay District (RIO) 8. Enhances education and awareness of the history of the site s development and the sustainable practices used for this program 9. Creates open space such as restored habitat, community gardens, and parks 10. Provides treatment of urban water runoff 11. Reflects LEED-EB and LEED-ND guidelines Utilizing the existing characteristics of the site and the above guidelines develop a program for the site and an illustrative argument for your plan. PROJECT CONTEXT & LOCATION The project site is located at the confluence of the Los Angeles River and the Arroyo Seco, near where the City of Los Angeles was founded. The confluence of the Arroyo Seco and the Los Angeles River is a unique and symbolic place in the urban area of Los Angeles, featuring two waterways of significant historical and cultural importance. The confluence was an important resource to Native Americans, where ground water flowed above ground. The site also may be seen as an important connection between the City s three largest parks: Griffith, Elysian, and Debs. The joining of the waterways offers room for meaningful habitat and stream restoration, for water quality treatment, flood management, and strengthening of the ecological connections to the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mountains. The approximate 210,800 square foot project site is located between North Avenue 19, Los Angeles, CA The site features the Historic Los Angeles City Jail, also known as the Lincoln Heights Jail, which rises five stories above the adjacent Los Angeles River. The Art Deco portion of the jail was built in 1931 by the Los Angeles City Construction department. The Bauhaus Modern addition was built in 1949 and designed by Kaufman and Stanton. The building was declared historic by the City of Los Angeles in The site also includes a Los Angeles City Maintenance Yard.
4 Existing Site Confluence of Arroyo Seco and Los Angeles River Historic Lincoln Heights City of Los Angeles Jail Concept Site 110 Hwy Metro Gold Line Elysian Park Los Angeles River The Rivers of the Los Angeles Basin were critical to the settling of Los Angeles but human expansion in the cities has tested the ecological integrity of the natural systems. As Los Angeles was more expansively settled in the 1900 s, the natural flooding cycles and meandering of rivers and streams, such as the Los Angeles River, Arroyo Seco, Ballona Creek, and the San Gabriel River, impacted parcels that were typically dry for years at a time. Because of resultant property damage and the desires of the residents at the time to control the local waterways so that the floodplain could be extensively developed, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began the channelization of the rivers in the Los Angeles Basin in 1931, setting in motion Angelenos love/hate relationship with the concrete river. As time has progressed the value of natural systems has been rediscovered. The new desire for additional open space, parks, wildlife habitat, and new approaches to flood management, created an impetus for plans to restore and revitalize areas along concrete channeled rivers. The County of Los Angeles in 1996 adopted the Los Angeles River Master Plan formulating a multi-objective program for the 51-mile River while recognizing its primary purpose for flood protection. Overall, the Los Angeles River Master Plan advocates environmental enhancement, recreational opportunities, and economic development. The evaluation of techniques to incorporate natural approaches for flood protection and stormwater pollution control including habitat restoration and enhanced wetlands creation that could include changes to the concrete channel were highlighted in the more
5 recent Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan (LARRMP) prepared by the City of Los Angeles, which covers the 32-mile portion of the River in the City. The LARRMP called out the confluence of the Arroyo Seco and the Los Angeles River as an Opportunity Area. It is one where future parks are planned which should integrate with the Historic Los Angeles City Jail site. The LARRMP proposed the addition of a River Improvement Overlay District (RIO) which encompasses the neighborhoods adjacent to the Los Angeles River, including the proposed project site, and encourages sustainable development that integrates the River with the City. In addition, the project site is situated within the boundaries of what will be the first LEED-Neighborhood Development (ND) specific plan in the nation. The Cornfields Arroyo Seco Specific Plan encompasses some 400 acres located between Chinatown and Lincoln Heights/Cypress Park Metro Rail Stations. The specific plan will be a LEED- ND pilot project to promote sustainable design from a master planning perspective and will encourage smart growth, urbanism, and green building design in terms of the infrastructure, open space, and buildings to be renovated and constructed within its boundaries. The surrounding land uses of the site include the Los Angeles River, the Arroyo Seco, the Metro Gold Line, Confluence Park, Elysian Park, the Los Angeles State Historic Park know as the Cornfields, industrial uses, a Livable Places affordable loft complex, a Goodwill Center, and the 110 and 5 freeways. The existing site currently houses the Los Angeles Youth Athletic Club and The Bilingual Foundation for the Arts.

6 Incorporation of Conceptual Sustainable Elements For more information and views of the site, please visit the following web sites: DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The competition program and design shall be developed for the future adaptive reuse of the Historic Los Angeles City Jail and its surrounding environs. The existing building is to remain, therefore the program and design shall be based on research of the site, its history, the existing community development and needs. This competition shall focus the development and program with an illustrated design for the entire site, including but not limited to the reuse of the historic jail, while taking into consideration sustainability and relating to the reuse of the of the structure to the site s master plan. 1.) Historic Jail Adaptive Reuse program and design ( reuse and/or redesign) 2.) Master Plan Site plan including jail and river convergence 3.) Incorporation of existing master plans and sustainability principles
7 The guidelines are as follows. These are meant to serve to develop a baseline ethic for approaching the development of the program and design for the Adaptive Reuse and Master Plan: 1. Preserves the historical elements of the building 2. Creates a locally sustaining program 3. Promotes the connection between urban environments and natural ecosystems 4. Creates a strong connection with Rivers, Parks, and Habitat 5. Encourages a sense of community within the surrounding areas 6. Shows awareness of local economic needs 7. Reflects the intent of the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan and the River Improvement Overlay District (RIO) 8. Enhances education and awareness of the history of the site s development and the sustainable practices used for this program 9. Creates open space such as restored habitat, community gardens, and parks 10. Provides treatment of urban water runoff 11. Reflects LEED-EB and LEED-ND guidelines Historic Jail Adaptive Reuse Each competition team shall develop an adaptive reuse program and design of the historic jail currently existing on the site. The art deco portion of the jail, designed in 1931, and the Bauhaus modern addition built in 1949, pose challenges and opportunities to interpret language and function. The program for the building is open for each team to design, in accordance with the site s overall plan. The program design should be fully illustrated in the submittals and based on the following points. The reuse of the jail should be in conformance with the guidelines previously mentioned to take into account the existing surrounding land uses and existing and future needs of the local area. Historical elements of the jail should be preserved but can be built upon. Thought shall be given to incorporating multiple uses of the jail, principles of new urbanism, and living buildings. Some components to consider including in the allocation of space are: community spaces, office spaces, living spaces, connections with nature, development of power for the building, and treatment of wastes. It shall be noted that the program recommendations listed above are intended as a guideline to assist the Competition Teams, and are derived from standard practice. The Competition teams shall feel enabled to propose alternative spatial configurations as long as it is commensurate with their larger vision for the adaptive reuse and master plan. Master Plan In addition to the historic jail adaptive reuse, each competition team shall propose a master plan for the site. If the team deems it necessary to expand the borders of the site to include the surrounding land uses this will be allowed, but is not the focus of this competition. This master plan shall consider future development in terms of the guidelines previously mentioned and in terms of the site s particular:
