Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects designed what they call an "urban lung," where residents can help grow a rooftop edible garden, join community events, and participate in job training programs. Situated in a food desert in the South Los Angeles area, the Isla will be part of a network of urban green spaces promoting healthy communities.
