Friday, January 14th, 2011Samitaur Tower – Culver City, California
Friday, January 14th, 2011The Samitaur Tower is an information tower, constructed at the corner of Hayden Avenue and National Boulevard immediately across from the new Expo light rail line arriving from downtown Los Angeles in June, 2011. That intersection is the primary entry point into the re-developed zone of Culver City.
- Architect: Eric Owen Moss Architects
- Location: Culver City, California
- Structure: Standard structural steel sections
- Project Area / Construction Area: Los Angeles
- Project Year: 2011
Conceptually, the tower has both introverted and extroverted planning objectives. Internal to the burgeoning site area of new media companies, graphic designers, and general office tenants, the tower will symbolize the advent of this important new urban development, provide a changing art display for local viewing, and offer a variety of graphic content and data on its five screens concerning coming events and current achievements of the tenants who occupy that part of the city.
