Hayworth Dingbat Apartments - LA Identity

I researched about Dingbat apartment: a two or three story multi residence made with a stucco body with a carport underneath. I found the Hayworth Dingbat Historical District, where it has the 18 intact examples of Dingbats created from 1946-56. My concept of the project is to deliver a fresh take on the “endangered” apartment and to share them representing the nostalgic time of LA with more people.
Learning Outcomes:
I studied the distinct personalities of each Dingbat Apartments, and to express their uniqueness through experiments, such as photography, 3d objects, drawings, paintings, and printmaking.
