The MAK Center presents Sixth Street Viaduct as Next Generation Infrastructure today, concluding Linda C. Samuels's research residency.

The session looks beyond the bridge's white arches to mobility, the spaces below, neighbourhood relationships and the capacity to create public life.

The event takes place on 13 August at the Mackey Apartments Garage Top. Confirm time and availability with the organiser before travelling.

For anyone outside Los Angeles, the question remains useful: new infrastructure should be judged by the land and routes it transforms around itself.

THEA recommends following the research for its combination of urban criticism and analysis of a built project that can now be compared with its promises.

The question

What deserves attention beneath the bridge?

Whether spaces are continuous, accessible and usable without an event. The next generation of infrastructure will be measured both by connecting destinations and repairing what its own scale divides.
