架构师提供的文本描述。将学生住房、教学设施和行政办公室带到一个地点，ELA将大学校园的多样性浓缩成一个城市。在洛杉矶的标志性背景下，唤起了东海岸大都市中心的集中精力，在学生的教育背景和他们的职业未来之间出现了丰富的对话。

Text description provided by the architects. Bringing student housing, instructional facilities, and administrative offices to one location, ELA condenses the diversity of a college campus into an urban site. Evoking the concentrated energy of East-coast metropolitan centers in an iconic Los Angeles setting, a rich dialogue emerges between students’ educational background and their professional futures.

对于爱默生洛杉矶的经验来说，学生的生活环境为整个建筑提供了结构。住房多达217名学生，国内地区框架的动态核心致力于创造力，学习，和社会互动。

Fundamental to the Emerson Los Angeles experience, student living circumstances give structure to the overall building. Housing up to 217 students, the domestic zones frame a dynamic core dedicated to creativity, learning, and social interaction.

由两个细长的住宅塔组成，由一个多用途的平台桥接而成，10层的方形框架包括一个中央开放的空间，以创造一个灵活的室外“房间”。一个雕塑的房子，教室和行政办公室编织在虚空，定义了多层次的梯田和活跃的间隙空间，以促进非正式的社会活动和创造性的交叉授粉。眺望多层露台，通往学生套房和公共房间的外部走廊被一条起伏的、纹理分明的金属幕墙遮住，覆盖了塔楼内部的全部高度。

Composed of two slender residential towers bridged by a multi-use platform, the 10-story square frame encloses a central open volume to create a flexible outdoor “room.” A sculpted form housing classrooms and administrative offices weaves through the void, defining multi-level terraces and active interstitial spaces that foster informal social activity and creative cross-pollination. Looking out onto the multi-level terrace, exterior corridors to student suites and common rooms are shaded by an undulating, textured metal scrim spanning the full height of the towers’ interior face.

从当地的背景来看，该中心在好莱坞电影制片厂的内部发现了一个挑衅性的先例，那里表面上有规则的正面，里面有灵活的、奇幻的空间。随着屏幕、媒体连接、声音和照明的安装被纳入到框架中，上层平台充当了户外表演的灵活电枢，将起伏的划痕转换成动态的视觉背景。整个建筑成了学生电影、放映和工业活动的舞台，好莱坞的标志、洛杉矶的城市和远处的太平洋提供了更多的风景。

Looking to the local context, the center finds a provocative precedent in the interiority of Hollywood film studios, where outwardly regular facades house flexible, fantastical spaces within. With rigging for screens, media connections, sound, and lighting incorporated into the framework, the upper platform serves as a flexible armature for outdoor performances, transforming the undulating scrim into a dynamic visual backdrop. The entire building becomes a stage set for student films, screenings, and industry events, with the Hollywood sign, the city of Los Angeles, and the Pacific Ocean in the distance providing added scenery.

响应当地的天气条件，自动遮阳系统打开和关闭高性能玻璃幕墙外的水平鳍，以尽量减少热量，同时最大限度地利用日光和景观。进一步的绿色措施包括使用回收和迅速再生的建筑材料，安装高效装置，将用水减少40%，通过被动价态系统在取暖和冷却方面节约能源，以及建立建筑物管理和调试基础设施，以监测和优化所有系统的效率。

Responding to local weather conditions, the automated sunshade system opens and closes horizontal fins outside the high-performance glass curtain-wall to minimize heat gain while maximizing daylight and views. Further green initiatives include the use of recycled and rapidly renewable building materials, installation of efficient fixtures to reduce water use by 40%, energy savings in heating and cooling through a passive valence system, and a building management and commissioning infrastructure to monitor and optimize efficiency of all systems.
