960 East 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013

SCI-Arc is pleased to announce the exhibition Anisotropy/Anisotropie by Paris-based architecture firm Odile Decq Benoît Cornette, on view in the SCI-Arc Gallery from October 14 through December 4, 2011.

Constructed of mirror-clad walls that create a series of unique geometric spaces, the installation invites visitors to make their way through these spaces while experiencing a constant play of reflection and illusions. Decq’s exhibition aims to induce a sensory experience, both vivid and discomforting, one that pulls the human mind in various directions simultaneously. The primary geometry of each space is the triangle, but by inclining the walls at different angles, the architect forces visitors to perceive the space as something different. Furthermore, due to the reflective quality of the walls, as visitors move through the space, they experience each of its sections as being infinite. Each is dis-functional—as to alter and obscure the perception we construct of the space—and each places the mind in a constant state of disorientation: first in time, then in place, and finally in person.

         “an annual, worldwide event that transforms metered parking spots into   temporary parks for the public good”

On Friday, September 16, the 5th annual celebration of Park[ing] Day LA hits the streets as “Park-itects” throughout the city step up to the curb, put a quarter in the meter, and proceed to transform metered curbside parking into urban parks, just for the day.

Park[ing] Day LA challenges the status quo and is designed to stir a conversation or dialogue on open space, public space, green space, and to inspire a vision of a city where “Streets are for People!”

Last year’s participants included a professor who taught his class out on the street, a chef who set up a kitchen and cooked for friends, planning students who demonstrated urban farming, merchants who held a wild, wild westside roundup, architects who created a Town Square in Westwood, artists who built a koi pond on a downtown street, designers who built a Zen garden and visionaries who used the opportunity to present plans for permanent parks.

There was a barber who set up shop, musicians who entertained, horticulturists who returned the street to our chaparral legacy, and groups of cyclists who led bike tours throughout the city.
