Santa
Monica Beach and the Palisades Park are characterized by the typical californian
leisure activities: jogging ... skating … surfing … walking … cycling.
both areas are separated by an infrastructural and topographical cut:
the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and the 18m high cliff of Santa Monica.
the idea of the project is to create a new connection between beach and
park, to develop something which dissolves the differences between a building
or a bridge, construction or form towards a coherent structure which extends
the possibilities of movement the beginning was a series of studies concerning
the possibilities of the site in relation to the bridge-house concept.
these studies were as well investigating the idea of moving structures
and moved structures. the ideas about movement raised from the picture
of the entertainment facilities on the Santa Monica Pier like the roller
coaster or the giant wheel. |
