Back in October, the Pershing Square Renew non-profit group revealed 10 big-name semifinalist teams in a competition to redesign Pershing Square in Downtown Los Angeles. City Councilmember Jose Huizar formed the Pershing Square Task Force in the summer of 2013 with the goal 'to re-envision Pershing Square' into a new town square with better public access, fresh landscaping and the like, to what they believe would further spruce up the evolving city. — Bustler
According to PSR, the park has been constantly overlooked for redevelopment. Inevitably, not everyone agrees the historic park should be revamped.
Nearly two months later, the competition is now down to the final four proposals:
Agence TER with SALT Landscape Architects
SWA with Morphosis
James Corner Field Operations with Frederick Fisher & Partners
wHY with Civitas
The teams will prepare for jury interviews and a public presentation in early 2016, and the public will also have the chance to give feedback before the jury selects the winning team. For now, the winning team will be announced next April.
