Abstract

This paper critically examines proposals for a new park in downtown Los Angeles in light of emerging theories of visual rhetoric. It asks what narratives emerged from a public and unauthorized design competition and the implication of these stories for the future of public space in Los Angeles. As a group, the submissions introduced three visions for the future of the park: it is a place for solitude, a place for digital engagement and a place that celebrates a voyeuristic type of display.
