The Future of Long Beach Articulated

More than 150 people listen as Alan Pullman, Founding Senior Principal at Studio One Eleven, articulates a vision of urban design during the Bisnow “The Future of Long Beach” event on Tuesday, June 28, 2016, at Catalina Landing in Long Beach, Calif.

The event provided a forum for guests to “hear from the leaders behind the area’s largest projects.” The two topic program featured the panel for “Long Beach Disruption, A New Urban Experience” which included participants from right to left, Moderator Alan Burks, Principal at Environ Architecture; Jan Robert van Dijs, Principal at JR van Dijs; Ryan Altoon, Executive Vice President at AndersonPacific; Alan Pullman, Founding Senior Principal of Studio One Eleven; Jeff Fullerton, Director at Edgemoor Infrastructure; and Kurt Schneiter, Principal at Maverick Investments.

The Bisnow event overview states: “Long Beach is becoming a true work-live-play environment. The revival commenced in the 90s with the completion of the Blue Line connecting DTLA [Downtown Los Angeles] with Downtown Long Beach. Since then, the city has seen explosive development, redevelopment and a slew of mixed-use projects that has transformed the city. Now with the rebound of the economy and ease of access to capital, the future has never looked brighter. With all of the mixed-use, residential and retail projects, located in downtown, near Douglas Park adjacent to the Long Beach Airport, and waterfront areas, the city is set to transform.”

Based in downtown Long Beach, Studio One Eleven is a distinct division of P+R Architects dedicated to creating more vibrant, healthy communities through an integrated practice of architecture, landscape and urban design. Studio One Eleven projects are viewed as an opportunity to physically enhance the urban context. Every urban component has an interdependent relationship with all others, thus designs are inspired through the careful assessment of the place where they stand. Whether working on a commercial adaptive re-use or a local streetscape enhancement, the emphasis is always on the making of more livable and sustainable cities.
