The focus of this competition, the fifty-block area east of downtown Los Angeles known as Skid Row, contains one of the largest stable homeless populations in the United States. Established in the 1930s during the Great Depression, Skid Row’s population has ranged over the years between 4,000 to 8,000 inhabitants with the 2019 population count being 4,757, an 11% increase over the previous year. Given the impact of Covid-19, the Skid Row population is expected to not only significantly increase in the coming months but to be critically at risk due to health concerns. Lacking the ability to afford personal protection supplies and inability to maintain social distancing, the occupants of Skid Row are one of the most susceptible populations in Los Angeles and southern California.
Construction is the most obvious reward for an architectural project, but very often in order to make things buildable, architects have to sacrifice innovation and creativity and surrender to business as usual. Non Architecture launches an award to honour those projects that didn’t take that approach and are unbuilt and unbuildable, either because they were designed to stay as such, or because their innovative charge brought them into the realm of the unpractical. We want to reward their innovative and experimental character with an award, organized in 4 categories – Urban, Landscape, Architecture and Aspatial.
