Description
The system reuses the surface area of existing utility boxes across the neighborhood: one face gives pedestrian-scaled directions to nearby destinations, another maps South Park's businesses and landmarks, and a third situates the neighborhood within a 5- and 15-minute walk of Downtown Los Angeles landmarks.
