Collective Architecture embraces the relationship between
the community and the architect. The LAADC allows for the
community members to work closely with an architect to
coordinate their design visions within an ad hoc architectural
system. The collective can be added onto and adjusted for
the communities’ needs with the support of the architect.

The LAADC is a response to limited geographic growth and an
acknowledgement of the richness and distinctive character of exist-
ing Los Angeles communities. The Collective is located in the Arts
District of Los Angeles which is a diverse and changing neighbor-
hood adjacent to the downtown area.
The Collective offers a common neutral ground for all people.
Each member of the community has equal right and equal impact
on how the Collective is shaped formally and programmatically.

Los Angeles is a diverse city that is perpetually changing. It is made up of a rich collection of unique communities that are themselves chang-ing. Denser development is the response to the changing needs of communities; historically Los Angeles has developed through suburban sprawl. At present, Los Angeles has reached its limit of sprawl and must now be developed through den-sification of its existing regions. The city is infilling and growing vertically to meet the increasing needs of its residents.

The Arts District is a mixture of warehouse, manufacturing, retail, restaurants, condos and lofts with a wide range of low to high income families. It is defined by the community and is perpetu-ally changing as the community changes.

LOS ANGELES : RECLAIMEDThe structure and units are made from reclaimed and recycled materials. Like the pro-grammatic cycle between community center and community, there will be a cycle to the ma-terial assembly. Steel allows for flexible growth, as it is the strong core of this modular building system. Recycled materials will be selected, customized and modified to the appropriate shape and size, and then assembled on site (Reclaim, Reuse, Reconnect).

The tectonic assembly of the LAADC is diverse and changing. The system will change over time in response to the changing needs of the commu-nity. The structural system serves as a receptor for the modular panelized units of program. The structure will primarily be steel and can be assembled, added to, changed, and subtracted from as needed.
The community center is a conglomeration of units that make up the whole. These units can be added into the assembly or taken away from it. The unit type is determined by the program to be housed inside it and the preferences of the people. The architect has the opportunity to sup-port the communities growth by providing services to them, long after the initials phase of construction is completed.

COLLECTIVE INTERESTS
The form is a result of the cause and effect system between The Art District and the LAADC. As part of a dynamic system, the form itself changes over time. The structural system allows for variety and transformation as a framework for modules that can be plugged in. The basic module can be added onto this system to address increased growth and changing needs.
The general form is a result of units plug-ging into a steel structural system. The additive nature of the LAADC does not need a master plan, but rather it embraces the ad hoc nature of evolving communties
The LAADC disregards the limitations of the property line and existing buildings. This shows the blurred relation-ship between the growth of the community and the con-sequential growth of the LAADC. It also breaks the distinction between the community and the community center and shows that they are in fact part of the same thing; a larger whole.
The program of the LAADC is a response to the surrounding community: business center, housing, gardening, art, exercise, education, entertain-ment etc… the LAADC can adapt to host the desired program. If the community has an influx of artists, the community center can respond to this change by plugging units onto the galleries or studio space.
