The relationship of architecture to the body is developed through the fundamental understanding of natural elements and human tendencies. Located on the Los Angeles River, the twisting pier embraces different view on the site.  The concept of twisting governs the form of the pier.  The platforms of the pier descend and ascend through twisting motions to give the visitor different experience at each point. The roof of the pier is also twisting with specific openings, programming the different views at particular areas.
