ABOUT THE ARTIST

LAA Office was co-founded by Daniel Luis Martinez, NOMA, and Lulu Loquidis, PLA, ASLA.


Daniel is an architectural designer and educator. His research and creative work investigate the transformation of undervalued sites through a synthesis of public art and public space design. He is currently an assistant professor at Indiana University’s J. Irwin Miller Architecture Program where he is also a faculty affiliate of the Center for Rural Engagement. Lulu is a registered landscape architect. Prior to co-founding LAA Office, she worked for international practices, including Hargreaves Associates and AECOM, and has built a diverse portfolio including gardens, streetscapes, urban plazas, waterfront parks, and resiliency infrastructure. She believes that contemporary landscape architecture should establish a crucial hinge between the environment, art, and human culture.

ABOUT THE MURAL

“Our A2AC Alleys Project is titled “Urban-Fetti” and consists of colorful bursts of confetti-like elements that playfully occupy the neighborhood’s pavement and building facades.”

“The installation is designed to provide a surprising moment of joy in the urban fabric that appears random at first but is in fact installed and orchestrated using a precise pattern. Materials include foil-based decals and powder-coated aluminum elements in bright, fluorescent colors that glow in the evening.”
