Have you ever noticed that Los Angeles has a fair number of small plots of land with nothing on them? Enter CityLab, one of 10 research centers in UCLA’s School of the Arts and Architecture, which is partnering with the city of Los Angeles to change that while promoting affordable home ownership. The lab’s current project, “Small Lots, Big Impacts,” invited professional architects and students to participate in a design competition showing us what these small spaces might become.
