LA Live

Los Angeles, CA

Project Description

L.A. Live is a sports and entertainment district adjacent to Staples Center and the Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles. It offers restaurants, clubs, and concert venues, two major hotels, condominiums, offices, and broadcasting facilities, all within a walkable district. Aggressive event programming drives much of the success of the district, implying a need for local community oriented activities to activate the district during “non-event” days.
