Not since William Mulholland turned on the taps has there been a more dynamic year for land use in Los Angeles. Between Measure S, the housing crisis, the opening and funding of major infrastructure projects, and so many other issues—which WUF has been proud to address—we are living in exciting times in Los Angeles. This year’s Westside Prize event and its awards seek to capture that excitement. In the 18 or so years since light rail to the Westside was first seriously proposed, the Westside Urban Forum has recognized Expo Line twice already. Friends 4 Expo received the Legacy Award in 2005, and Expo Phase II received the Westside Prize in 2015. And here we are, giving out another Expo-related Westside Prize. Expo is the gift that keeps on giving. As well it should be. In some ways, this year’s prize is the most important one yet. The Expo Line itself is a done deal. But what we do around the station and along the alignment represents an opportunity that will span the generations. The same goes for the other 92 stations along L.A. Metro’s five other rail lines. Our recognition of the Culver City HUB District and its component developments does not merely celebrate exciting new projects. We hope these developments will set the standard for those that follow and, indeed, usher in a new way of living in and moving around Los Angeles. We now have fantastic firsthand examples of transit oriented development, and we encourage cities and developers to continue this trend. Of course, development in Los Angeles cannot happen without water. Indeed, another highlight of 2017 was the end of the drought. But we know that drought is the norm. That is why, even in this year of plenty, we are proud to recognize the Arid Lands Institute. The work they do, along with that of other institutions and government agencies, helps us conserve our most important resource even as our city builds exuberantly for the future. Finally, what can be said about the Design Awards other than that they reflect our incredible good fortune? Not only do we Angelenos get to enjoy extraordinary architecture, but we get to do so among the architects themselves. Perhaps no other city has the concentration of design talent that Los Angeles does, and we are proud, as always, to celebrate the primacy of design in urban life. Of course, not everything is perfect in paradise. These awards come amid crises in homelessness, housing affordability, traffic, segregation, education, and many other issues. Whether we are celebrating monumental achievements or facilitating debates over these tough issues, the Westside Urban Forum always strives to ennoble and improve our city. We thank you for your support and look forward to another exciting, fascinating year in Los Angeles.

Josh Stephens President

6 MESSAGE FROM THE PRIZE CO-CHAIRS

Fifty years ago, Culver City was a sleepy little community whose principal claim to fame was the Culver Studios, where movies and television shows were made during Hollywood’s Golden Age. Now, the Culver Studios remain active—and we can also stroll down Washington Boulevard in the main commercial area on a Thursday evening, joining a bustling hive of activity that includes a diverse population of residents and visitors enjoying restaurants, shopping, going to the movies or plays, or relaxing on park benches watching the crowds. A few blocks farther to the east, our Westside Prize winners exemplify the place-making possibilities of transit-oriented development. The City of Culver City has long promoted a vision of the city that is human- scaled and environmentally sensitive. The completion of the Expo light rail line has provided an opportunity to create a community from the ground up. The area around the station is called the HUB District, and thanks to some visionary planning by the city, as well as some calculated risk-taking by developers, this part of town is transforming into a destination in its own right. The Ivy Station project by Lowe Enterprises will remake the parking lot in front of the Expo Line station into a lively community that will include apartments, office space, a hotel and a park that opens toward the rail station, welcoming transit riders into the area. Underground parking will be available for residents, visitors and transit riders. The LEED-Silver and LEED-ND certified project will be a place where people can literally live, work, and play. Greystar’s Access Culver City project on Washington Blvd. is a 115-unit apartment complex that has LEED Silver certification. The project includes sustainable green space and will have as a tenant the Santa Monica co-op grocery store. Its proximity to the Expo Line rail station as well as retail and restaurant choices will make living in the city easy for residents.

Our Legacy Award winner, the Arid Lands Institute, puts the spotlight on one of our most precious resources in drought-prone Southern California— water. Hadley and Peter Arnold have made it their mission to show cities in our region how water flows across and under our land, streets and buildings. From this knowledge will come the power to capture more water to replenish aquifers, keep our landscape sustainable, and support our growing region. The Westside Urban Forum is proud to honor these outstanding projects that provide unique contributions to the vitality of our civic spaces.

7 IN MEMORIAM: Jeff Averill

Amid the excitement of the past year, WUF and the entire Westside land use and design community lost one of its most respected members, former UCLA Campus Architect Jeff Averill. A fellow of the American Institute of Architects, Jeff served on the WUF board for many years. He passed away in February at the age of 61.

Having been appointed campus architect in 2003, Jeff oversaw the design of every major campus building for 15 years and shepherded UCLA’s transition to environmentally friendly construction. He provided design oversight for all UCLA capital projects, ensuring that all building interiors, exteriors and landscaping matched UCLA’s overall aesthetic. Averill also assisted with UCLA’s 30-year, $2.2 billion seismic retrofit project, which is now in the final stages of improving the safety of 66 campus-owned buildings and structures.

Jeff earned his bachelor’s in architecture at Rice University and his master’s at UC-Berkeley. Before coming to UCLA, he worked in private practice in Houston, San Francisco, Philadelphia, London, Sydney and Los Angeles.

Douglas Tieger, president of AIA | LA remembered Jeff as “a gentleman Architect, quiet yet strong, kind, gracious and generous of his time. He was an esteemed member and leader of our profession.”

Amid all of his responsibilities, Jeff was gracious enough to also lend his time and effort to WUF. Jeff brought his grace and thoughtfulness to WUF and contributed to many WUF programs, including a memorable tour of the UCLA campus.

WUF extends condolences to Jeff’s family and friends, and we are thankful for contributions he made to our organization and our city.

CULVER CITY HUB DISTRICT

Culver City

The HUB is Culver City’s new Transit-Oriented Development District, which includes several new developments—Access Culver City, Ivy Station and Platform—as well as existing destinations such as the Helms Bakery District and Culver Crossing.

Culver City is close to the center of the Expo Line route, which now runs from downtown LA to Santa Monica. The city’s planners and City Council had the foresight to jump on the opportunity to create the HUB District, supporting development that would encourage use of Expo, bikes and pedestrian pathways to improve mobility and air quality without relying on the automobile.

City officials and staff have worked to ensure that the essential character of the City isn’t marred by out-of-scale development or unmanageable traffic. The City is currently engaged in a comprehensive visioning effort with the community, holding a series of public workshops intended to create a meaningful set of strategies and recommendations to help guide future mobility and development projects in the HUB District. The process is focused on what makes Culver City special and the factors and forces challenging the City’s cherished quality of life. With over 40,000 residents, and an estimated daytime population of 150,000 who work, shop and play in the City, Culver City’s efforts to plan for the future by supporting livable density near rail lines can be a valuable example to other communities along the many rail lines built and soon-to-be-built in the Los Angeles area.

The Westside Prize recognizes projects, programs, policies and academic studies that demonstrate excellence in city-making and community-building. The Westside Urban Forum is delighted to present the City of Culver City with the Westside Prize for its HUB Transit-Oriented Development District. The City’s vision and hard work have brought vitality to this area and set a high standard for transit-oriented development, creating a unique destination in Culver City.

ACCESS CULVER CITY

Culver City HUB District

The goal of successful transit-oriented development is to make it possible for people to live, work and play within an area that is close to rail, bus or bike options so there are fewer cars on the road, less traffic, and a cleaner environment. Greystar’s Access Culver City is the crucial “live” part of the equation, providing much needed housing for the new residents who are remaking this area of Culver City into a 24-hour neighborhood.

Whether you’re a young techie, an entrepreneur or a busy retiree looking for housing in a hot market, this 115-unit apartment and retail project, completed in 2016, literally provides Access with a capital ‘A.’ Located on Washington Boulevard at National in this lively and diverse city, the complex is steps away from the Culver City Expo Line stop and plenty of retail shops and restaurants ranging from hip to historic. Residents can walk to work, the movies, or take the adjacent bike path to the beach. A branch of the Santa Monica Co-op market and deli will anchor the ground floor retail space, providing a key amenity for the building’s residents and everyone in the neighborhood.

Part of a revived section of Culver City now known as the HUB District, the Culver City Council and planners kept the scale of the buildings relatively low in keeping with the profile of the rest of the City. The building, designed by Togawa Smith Martin, features architectural steel canopies that integrate the project with the surrounding industrial landscape and a 7,000 square-foot public courtyard with an interactive art sculpture and seating designed to foster a sense of community. The project is LEED Silver certified.

Greystar, founded in 1993 in Charleston, South Carolina, tops the list of the National Multi-Family Housing Council’s 50 Largest Apartment Managers, with 415,634 glocal apartments under management. Greystar also jumped to the top of the Council’s 25 Largest Apartment Developers, with 7,623 apartments under construction.

WUF applauds Culver City’s support for transit-oriented development, and is pleased to honor Greystar’s Access Culver City project for excellence in transit- oriented development.

IVY STATION

Culver City HUB District

With its annual Westside Prize, WUF recognizes projects that create great places and build community. Whether a project is built or in-progress, we strive to honor promising concepts and encourage development that is environmentally conscious and promotes livability for residents and visitors alike. For a few years, unsuspecting Culver City Expo Line riders have filled the parking lot next to the station with cars before taking the train or buses to head east, and now, west. Those with planning backgrounds probably anticipated that the space would one day transform into something more interesting than a parking lot. This year, the Ivy Station project is becoming a reality in this location. Thanks to the vision of Culver City’s planners, City Council and developer Lowe Enterprises, the city’s HUB District will soon boast a 500,000 square-foot transit-oriented, mixed-use project. It will include a 148-room boutique hotel, offices, 52,000 square feet of retail shops and restaurants, park space opening to the Expo Line station, 200 apartments, and underground parking - all in the area bounded by Venice and Washington Boulevards and National Blvd. Killefer Flammang Architects (KFA) is the Master Architect, and Erlich, Yanai, Rhee, Chaney Architects (EYRC) is the Office Architect. The Ivy Station project’s environmentally-friendly features are first-rate. The buildings will be LEED Silver and LEED ND-certified, and a 13,000 square-foot canopy made of photovoltaic panels will generate energy as well as provide shade for the atrium. Water harvesting cisterns will collect onsite storm water, and drywells will aid in groundwater recharge; water conservation techniques will be used for all landscaping. Heat gain and glare will be mitigated with shading devices, mature trees and high-efficiency mechanical systems. There will be on-site recycling collection facilities, and zero VOC products will be used in the interior environment. Happily, for those who appreciate an afternoon breeze, windows will be functional throughout the project. Scheduled for completion in late 2019, the Ivy Station project will anchor the HUB District and be a lively destination in Culver City. WUF is delighted to honor Lowe Enterprises’ Ivy Station project for creating an attractive live- work-play community that will foster a transit-oriented lifestyle.

ARID LANDS INSTITUTE

Hadley and Peter Arnold

What is the most precious resource in Los Angeles? You might say our people, but what do we, and every other living thing require to survive and thrive? If you guessed water, you’re right. After a prolonged drought, and a period of much shorter showers and much dirtier cars for most of us, we are all thinking about how to conserve, capture, recycle and reuse water.

Arid Lands Institute (ALI) is an award-winning research, outreach, and education center devoted to water-smart design in dry lands. Hadley and Peter Arnold, the Institute’s founders, have a vision: to encourage a water-smart built environment in the western United States that can serve as a model for development in dry lands globally. ALI’s mission has been to train designers and citizens to innovate in response to hydrologic variability brought on by climate change.

ALI’s urban research projects have focused on maximizing the recovery of stormwater to replenish local supplies. Rural work has focused on watershed based planning for communities adapting to changes in precipitation. Recognizing that a changing water cycle will require shifts in site design, building codes, land uses, zoning, and governance strategies, ALI brings student and collaborators together from architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, urban design, science, policy, the arts and humanities.

The Institute has had close working relationships with Woodbury University, UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, and other academic, scientific and community partners---especially green infrastructure and design leaders at Perkins+Will; the City of LA’s Bureau of Engineering; and the Nature Conservancy.

To further its vision, ALI is now located at the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District and has been transitioning its mission to provide site-specific, data-intensive modeling, planning, and design services to businesses and communities in urban and rural areas. This includes developing and marketing tools that will support design for adaptation. One such project is the development of the digital design tool, “Hazel,” which could have a profound effect on the way architects, planners, engineers, and property owners capture, retain, and reuse stormwater in arid environments.

The John L. Chase Legacy Award recognizes people, projects, programs, policies or academic studies that promote excellence in city-making and community-building. WUF is delighted to honor the Arid Lands Institute for its ground-breaking efforts to connect science and public policy with design solutions addressing the challenge of water scarcity.

26 Hadley & Peter Arnold

Hadley and Peter Arnold are educators, designers, and researchers obsessed with water in dry environments. Trained as architects, they met as graduate students at SCI-Arc and collaborators on StudioWorks’ comprehensive survey of Villa Adriana outside of Rome. SCI-Arc’s spirit of educational experimentation, StudioWorks’ practice of close observation through fieldwork, and Hadrian’s investigation of water systems as architectural forms shaped their partnership and their vision. How will cities and buildings adapt to longer, hotter drought cycles and take greater advantage of intensive rain events? What tools do students, professionals, and cities need to make water-smart decisions for future development? What lessons do history and the arts offer to the designer of contemporary water infrastructure and public space? What innovations in architectural education will prepare the next generation of water- inspired practitioners? Water touches every dimension of how we live and work and exceeds the grasp of a single discipline. Building on a decade of independent research and topic-driven teaching, first piloted at UCLA in 2001, Peter and Hadley proposed the Arid Lands Institute to Woodbury University in 2008. They envisioned ALI as a center bringing together science, policy, the arts and humanities to catalyze inspired adaptation in the US West, serving as a model for drylands globally. In 2016, ALI transitioned to independence and is now housed at the LA Cleantech Incubator in downtown LA. Hadley serves as ALI’s Executive Director, working to build creative partnerships across institutions and sectors. Hadley received her BA from Harvard and her M.Arch. from SCI-Arc. She has taught urban history, theory, and design studios at SCI-Arc, UCLA, and Woodbury.

Peter serves as Research Director, creating powerful new watershed modeling tools for maximizing stormwater recovery at local and regional scales. Peter received his BA in environmental design from CU Boulder and his M.Arch. from SCI-Arc. He has taught design and geospatial research studios at Woodbury and UCLA.

Together, the Arnolds, accompanied by their daughter Josie, have extensively photographed the infrastructural landscapes of the west. They have served as visiting critics at UNM, KU, Penn, Montana State, USC, Cal Poly Pomona, Pratt, CCA, Princeton, and MIT. ALI’s research has been recognized by the AIA|Los Angeles, Holcim Foundation, Buckminster Fuller Institute, and AIA College of Fellows 2015- 2017 Latrobe Prize.
