This project is a hypothetical adaptive reuse proposal that is unique to Los Angeles because of the city’s relationship to its adjacent bodies of water. While researching the history of water in LA, the project began to focus on swimming pools and their significance to the idea of LA and the tropes they represent in media like freedom, control, luxury, and status. Post WWII, private pools became more popular due to the desegregation of public pools and affordable fabrication costs; at the same time pleasure-centered ethos normalized the objectification of bodies in public spaces, which shaped swim and beach culture and attire. This adaptive reuse project is a giant lazy river that runs through LA using existing creeks and water features such as the LA River and Ballona Creek. It is hypothesizing what it would be like if this hyper-leisure attitude made its way back into the city. The lazy river would be a new thoroughfare that necessitates leisure.
