I was not sure wether I should like it or hate it, the IBM building of the Otis College of art. I remember I saw the oldschool computer punchcard fassade of the building allready in one of our modernism books. When you start to Europe from the LAX Airport you can clearly see it, as it is in its close proximity. Well, Sandra and I where anyway not there to admire the building, but to join the boards of critics at the final review of the landscape design studio. Takao Tajima, was so kind to invite us to join in. The issue of the course was to design a bridge over the LA river, that should incorporate further program and include the landscape issue of its surroundings. The projects encompassed the issue in various ways, and some of the projects that best sticked to my mind where those trying to blend the heterogenous environment into one connecting entity, thus resulting in spectacular possibilities for the transition between the shores of the river.
