Freeways of Los Angeles are massive concrete forms of
infrastructure that accommodate vehicular movement
and adversely fragment the adjacent communities. This
project searched for moments of opportunity to inltrate
and develop architecture from infrastructure. An inll site
was found in East Los Angeles that sits on the edge of
where the 710 North freeway ends; land that has been in
debate for developing a surface route freeway since the
1960’s. The community has sent Caltrans into litigation
for half a century to stop their 710 extension development
that would start from the inll site to the 210 closing
the 8 mile gap; a consensus is needed to satisfy the
conict between the community of East Los Angeles,
South Pasadena, and Alhambra to Caltrans
