The building is still to remain banal (minus the condo units) and formally remains similar...but another layer has been added to the project is an attempt to achieve the sense of tying together of the site and its constituant parts. This is to be achieved by a Parade Event...this differs because the ritual is celebrated and publicized...whereas before the carts were left to roam for themselves.
Every year...at a certain time...a parade is to be held to celebrate the arts and hopefully will get participation from the other art centres on the site (sergertrom buildings and the performing arts buildings...as well as anyone in the community willing to participate).
The parade performs 2 primary functions... A) to bring together the art community/make people aware of its presence - B) Renewal of the carts that are to be dispersed along the parade route.
Note: The parade carts consist of a few of the exhibit carts from the OCMA + the new carts for the orange lounge... the orange lounge carts are the ones that are to be renewed but the exhibit carts make their way back to the art plaza.
The specific sites chosen in this diagram is:
A - the Noguchi Garden
B - South Coast Plaza
C - Community Park
The route attempts to connect the art core, commericial mall, and the residential area to the north. This is a modest beginning route...as more locations become relevant...more participatants are enlisted...the route can hope to expand and desposit more orange lounge carts in the surrounding areas.
