Pershing Square, downtown Los Angeles


Who's seen this? I always wondered why it was so ugly. It was a conceptual art design made in 1994 (hence the colors).


Have a look and let me know your thoughts. Some want it levelled and a functional, green park installed.

But since it's art, should it be left?

Doesn't look too bad. A nice green(er) space would be more beneficial but I've seen worse public spaces.

My wife and I took a walk around it once whilst on holiday; itโ€™s quite interesting.

I hate it. Never saw it before 1994, but I've been told it was much nicer then. I'm surprised this is still going on because I remember seeing proposed redesigns years ago. They are certainly taking their time.

Just another reason of many why California sucks. The biggest reason being Kowalski lives there.

He would call in an artillery strike.

that bad?

reply

Yes. I would have said "airstrike with Tomahawks and JDAMs" but he wouldn't know what those are being so long after his time.

Lol, I just watched Speed and I recognized this monstrosity in the ransom pick up scene.

I can't be sure what it actually looks like today, but I found this from 2016:
