At the center of the Grand Avenue side of the veil is the architectural feature known as “the oculus” -- an intense indentation of the veil into the building.

It exudes a sense of humanity and togetherness. Its simplicity is conversational and memorable. “I’ll meet you at Halo” will become a phrase that makes sense to everyone and anyone in DTLA and beyond. 02 A Neighborhood TRANSFORMING As part of this placemaking transformation, Brookfield Properties, along with executive architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and design group AvroKO, is undertaking a massive overhaul of the food, beverage, personal service, and cultural offerings housed in the Wells Fargo Center retail component, Halo.

The acclaimed Patina Group’s Nick + Stef’s Steakhouse will remain as part of the new community.

  • BROAD on the GROWING Blo K Universe
    Broad on the Growing Ted Sider Block Universe Intro Metaphysics 1. B theory versus moving spotlight The B theory Time is analogous to space in many ways. Past, present, and future objects are all (tenselessly) real. No time is objectively present; to say that something is present is just to say that it is simultaneous with one’s utterance. (Similarly, to say that something is past or future is to say it is after or before one’s utterance.) Change is nothing more than the truth of a pair of statements of this form: “Object x is F at time t1” and “Object x is not F at time t2”. Many (though not all) B theorists accept temporal parts. We are naturally tempted to regard the history of the world as existing eternally in a certain order of events. Along this, and in a xed direction, we imagine the characteristic of presentness as moving, somewhat like the spot of light from a policeman’s bull’s-eye traversing the fronts of the houses in a street. What is illuminated is the present, what has been illuminated is the past, and what has not yet been illuminated is the future… (Broad, p. 141.) The moving spotlight view Past, present, and future objects are real, as the B theory says. But a single moment of time is objectively present. But which moment is present is not “frozen”; the objective present moves. In addition to the kind of “change” that the B theory acknowledges, there is also a further sort of—more genuine—change: the change in events from future to present to past.
