APPROACH

L.A. is a place that provocates feelings.

Broadness and bigness penetrates everything we can distinguish in this city. The boundless Santa Monica beach is a proof that this is provoked by  the nature itself. The site chosen for the competition by the beach, with a broad flat surface and the region it touches the rocky slope is the fact that provoked us. Our proposal is to build on water instead of using the land. The beach will be a seaport for a stadium for 70000 people. The wide pier that is used as a circus playground at the moment can link the stadium to the land. The existing piers that stand on piles, the long and broad platforms make one think  "Why not?”.
