LAX is an Unrecognized Chunk of Urban Design

BLOG UNDER CONSTRUCTION

LAX is undergoing major changes.  Most of these have to do with access and enhancing the traveller's comfort and experience.

I posit that the urban form of LAX is also very important to a traveller's comfort and experience.  Therefore it's urban form should be considered in the proposed changes.  How the traveller perceives their LAX visit is framed by their grasp of its total environment and not only how easy it is to get through it, find a good place to eat and shop, or idle time waiting for a flight.

The less confusing LAX looks the more positive impression it will make.  Being able to understand it's layout and form is important to that perception.

The link below illustrates a proposed urban design form for LAX.
