OPEN CALL | TURF: A Mini Golf Project

TURF: A Mini-Golf Project explores the meaning of terrain and territory in Los Angeles through the architecture of mini-golf. The mini-golf course becomes a playful trope for the city of Los Angeles, articulated by artificial surfaces, winding boulevards and fantastical architecture. TURF asks architects, designers and artists to design a single architectural obstacle that investigates a contemporary Los Angeles condition — including topics such as drought and lawns, parking and traffic, nature and neighborhoods, housing typologies and identity — in the form of the miniature and the absurd. Both pleasure and obstacle are par for the course.
