SKYLINE is a free, ten-day, annual architecture and art event that showcases site specific, experimental, interactive installations that embrace Los Angeles’ ever-evolving cultural landscape. During SKYLINE, architects, designers and artists transform unique, hidden spaces within downtown Los Angeles into destination places for visitors and locals alike. The 2014 SKYLINE presentation will consist of 12 installations crossing many distinct districts in downtown Los Angeles, including the Historic District, Fashion District, Arts District, and Broadway District. SKYLINE aims to engage and educate the viewer through interventions specifically designed for individual sites. This results in an experience that draws attention to the architectural past, while providing a fresh, contemporary perspective. SKYLINE exhibition spaces include unseen, unused, or underutilized locales in downtown Los Angeles. Sites selected showcase rooftops, private courtyards and lobbies, empty buildings and storefronts, and other unique architectural places that are often inaccessible to the public. These historic sites are easily walked by unnoticed, literally hidden from view, waiting to be exposed during SKYLINE. Uncovering these spaces via a self-guided walking discovery tour of downtown Los Angeles, combined with site-specific contemporary architecture interventions, exemplifies the SKYLINE experience. Partners and sponsors of this event include Gensler, SOM, Gilmore Development, Downtown LA Art Walk, Metro, Dirtt, Bustler, AIA Los Angeles, LA Fashion District, Historic Downtown District, Downtown Center Business Improvement District, City of Los Angeles 14th Council District Jose Huizar, Azure and more. SKYLINE participants will consist of eight local architect(s) and artist(s) via an RFP process, and eight national and international teams invited by SKYLINE’s prestigious host committee.
