We learned about the history and future of this important public space, & invited participants to petition and comment in support of its preservation in the future redevelopment. Thank you to everyone for a memorable afternoon of skateboarding, advocacy, art/music, games, & food!

Thank you to the > 200 participants who celebrated the architectural & cultural significance of the West LA Civic Center during our Make Space event in October 2022. @skatepark @LAConservancy

Together with public space advocacy organizations, we activated the bandshell, ledges, and pathways with do-it-yourself obstacles and amenities.

Thanks to those who participated in our 2nd public space event at MacArthur Park! @leni_light and attendees walked a route and observed nighttime conditions like lighting design, infrastructure, and social activity. Article link and event photos in bio! #publicspace #uncommonucla

[uncommon_UCLA @Uncommon_UCLA]

Architects, city planners, community leaders, longtime residents, and students enriched their understanding of light and dark and imagined how to plan and design for better nighttime conditions. Special thank you to @ArtDivisionLA for hosting our pre-walk gathering.
