People’s Architecture Office (PAO) has unveiled Core Memories, a public art project set to be installed later this year at Puente Hills Regional Park in Los Angeles. The site, shaped by decades of landfill use, now serves multiple roles, as a place for education, recreation, nature appreciation and as a resting ground where humans return to the earth in death. While the landscape has been reclaimed and repurposed, neighbouring communities still hold vivid memories of its environmental impact during its years as an active landfill. Core Memories seeks to transform this collective experience through the public art project.
