Details are forthcoming, but we are excited to announce that Parkman Triangle in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, will be featured at the Venice Biennale later this year. The Venice 2012 exhibition, Spontaneous Interventions: Design Actions for the Common Good, documents projects initiated by American architects and designers that bring positive change to the public. Considering all the work that John Southern and Ara Babaian put into this park, we are ecstatic that this corner of Silver Lake Boulevard and Parkman Avenue keeps scoring more and more recognition. Parkman Triangle is a great example of how urban acupuncture and local activism can make a huge difference in our neighborhoods. Lessons can be learned in Italy and beyond.
