9. Rusu-McCartin Boys and Girls Club
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Chicago's first newly built Boys and Girls Club in a half century
opened on the West Side in 2023. Adjacent to the new Chicago
Joint Public Safety Training Campus, the RusuMcCartin
Boys and Girls Club bolsters the kids' connections
with first responders, who sometimes stop by to participate
in club activities. Designed by Latent, which was founded in
Chicago by Katherine Darnstadt in 2010, the three-story structure
emerged after extensive input from local youth and the
community.
The building includes plenty of casual places to hang out,
as well as a double-height gymnasium, classroom spaces, a
teaching kitchen, a meadow, and a rooftop garden planted
with local species. Expansive glass at the ground floor showcases
the activities within; upper floors have access to plentiful
natural light as well. The façade is clad in iridescent blue metal
panels that reflect sun in varying ways over the day and transition
to a perforated screen wall at the roof deck.
10. Test Plot, Elysian Park
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
TERREMOTO, a landscape architecture design studio based
in Los Angeles and San Francisco, noted the long-neglected,
invasive-species-ridden terrain of LA's Elysian Park and
decided to collaborate on an intervention with Citizens Committee
to Save Elysian Park and the local gardening firm Saturate.
With the blessing of the city's department of parks and
recreation, TERREMOTO fenced off a 30-foot-diameter circle,
the reach of a radial spray. In 2019, volunteers began weeding
the spot by hand and planting native species.
Test Plot provides a real-world way to experiment with different
methods of planting and weeding to see what works
for a given location. Test Plot has since expanded to more
than 10 sites across California, several of them in partnership
with students in the landscape architecture and urbanism
program at the University of Southern California School of
Architecture.
TERREMOTO was founded in 2013 by David Godshall and
Alain Peauroi, later joined by partners Jenny Jones and Story
Wiggins. UL
RON NYREN is a San Francisco-based architecture and urban design writer.
