Earlier this week, Los Angeles officials announced that they'd selected Populous/HMC Architects as the winning team in the Los Angeles Convention Center design competition, beating out proposals from Gensler/Lehrer Architects and AC Martin/LMN Architects. Now, several new renderings have been released for the Populous/HMC proposal. They include close-up views of the open air courtyard that would be created where Pico Boulevard intersects the complex, as well as new views of the terraces and grand staircase that would be constructed at the entrance to the West Hall. Several new interior views have also been included. The renderings also show what appears to be a massive vertical garden spanning the length of the back of the complex which faces the 110 Freeway.
