JACCC PLAZA (Japanese American Cultural & Community Center)

The JACCC Plaza. designed by Isamu Noguchi, is a composition of architecture, open space and sculpture. The plaza’s symbolism links present to past generations with reference to shared tradition and culture. This design focuses on illustrating and educating the general public of the Japanese heritage and Culture. The intent is to create a functional, logical and artistic design of a sculpture environment connecting Second and San Pedro Street to the building entries of the JACCC, the Noguchi Plaza and the Aratami Theater. Special attention was given to the creation of spaces and subspaces representing different size seating areas, the redefinition of the building entries and the relationship between the spaces and sculptures. Existing design elements and vegetation have been incorporated in this design.
