该项目是一个信息塔,建在海登大道和国家大道的拐角处,紧挨着2011年6月从洛杉矶市中心抵达的新世博轻轨运输线。这个十字路口是进入卡尔弗城重建区的主要入口。

The project is an information tower, constructed at the corner of Hayden Avenue and National Boulevard immediately across from the new Expo light rail transit line arriving from downtown Los Angeles in June, 2011. That intersection is the primary entry point into the re-developed zone of Culver City.

从概念上讲,该塔有内向和外向的规划目标。在新媒体公司、平面设计师和普通办公室租户的新兴区域内部,该塔将象征着这个重要的新城市发展的到来,为当地人提供不断变化的艺术展示,并在其五个高分辨率的背投屏幕上提供各种图形内容和数据,涉及即将发生的事件和占据该城市该部分的租户的当前成就。

Conceptually, the tower has both introverted and extroverted planning objectives. Internal to the burgeoning site area of new media companies, graphic designers, and general office tenants, the tower will symbolize the advent of this important new urban development, provide a changing art display for local viewing, and offer a variety of graphic content and data on its five high- resolution rear projection screens concerning coming events and current achievements of the tenants who occupy that part of the city.

在外部,该塔展示了具有文化意义的内容和当地的活动信息,以及向经过该场地区域的汽车观众提供各种艺术和图形展示,这些观众在卡尔弗城/西洛杉矶地区的一些当地大道上行驶。

Externally, the tower displays culturally significant content and local event information, along with art and graphic presentations of all sorts available to in-car audiences who pass the site area, traveling on a number of local thoroughfares in the Culver City / West Los Angeles area.

除了大量的汽车经过该地之外,世博线每天估计有30,000名乘客,在项目地点的东西两个街区有两个当地车站。火车乘客的存在保证了每天有大量的铁塔艺术观众,同时也增加了该地区的行人,他们会从火车站走过铁塔到当地的商业区。

In addition to the large number of cars passing the site, the Expo Line has an estimated ridership of 30,000 passengers per day with two local stations several blocks east and west of the project site. The presence of the train riders guarantees an enormous daily audience of Tower art viewers, as well as an increase in pedestrians in the area, who will walk past the Tower from the train stops to local businesses.
