Section perspective and bird's eye view of site plan: Hollywood Central Park 100 years into the future (Corey Norman)

ARCHITECTURE Fifth-year student Corey Norman will receive a $5,000 scholarship prize after being selected as one of five national honorees of the SOM Foundation's Robert L. Wesley Award. Named in honor of the firm's first Black partner, the program supports BIPOC undergraduate students studying architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and structural engineering in the United States. Norman's award-winning entries are from Fall 2019 projects in his topic studios with lecturers Wendy Gilmartin (ARC 4011L and ARC 4301L) and Dennis McFadden (ARC 4021L) and from his internship at SmithGroup. The image above is related to Norman's project for Gilmartin's studio. "I argued that the park would be a bandaid on top of the damage the freeway already did when it was originally built," Norman said. "It would not help with C02 buildup, homelessness, and tethering the community back together so the park would just get demolished in the future and nothing would be there but an empty unused cavity that the old middle class and the poor would populate unless we figure out how to bring the surrounding neighborhoods together and give new use for the old freeway. This also exposes the above and below circulation where nooks and cuts are exposed to daylight and integrating the park on each level with new circulation/ bridges for pedestrians throughout LA. The building is a film archive acts as an anchor and landmark for the bridges and the connecting streets and overpasses. It is about a mile long. So in short the image just shows how people would use my park proposal."

ART Lecturers Juliana Rico and Matthew Rose will moderate "Radicalizing Success: Decolonizing and Decapitalizing Contemporary Definitions About Success," a lecture co-sponsored by the college as part of its 2020-21 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Series. Radicalizing Success: Decolonizing and Decapitalizing Contemporary Definitions About Success Thursday, March 18 | 12 p.m. (PST) | Register to receive Zoom link The event's featured panelists are: educator/artist William Camargo, Anaheim Commissioner of Heritage and Culture; and Mariah Miranda, a Washington, D.C-based documentary-style event photographer and videographer.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Novelist/essayist Jonathan Lethem shares some sources of inspiration for "Crooked House," published in the March 8 issue of The New Yorker. His protagonist, college instructor Mull, lives in a collapsible yet still habitable tesseract house in Los Angeles. "[A] friend, James Becerra, teaches environmental architecture at Cal Poly Pomona, and his thinking about the city was for me an entry point into certain mysteries," Lethem said in a March 1 interview. "But he’s a much more inspiring teacher, I think, than Mull."

REGENERATIVE STUDIES Lecturer Eric Carbonnier will give an international seminar on Wednesday, March 17 about his research in nanotechnologies and the experimental setup at the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies. His talk is part of the CSIC i-Link International Research on nanotech-based thermochromic materials. International Seminar: Nanotechnology-Based Thermochromic Materials for Adaptive Building Envelopes Wednesday, March 17 | 12 p.m. (GMT) | Register to receive Zoom link (event flyer) Carbonnier and Interim Director Pablo La Roche represent Cal Poly Pomona as the United States partner in a six-country consortium of universities studying how nanotech materials can be used to design buildings that perform better under the stresses of climate change.
