New Mural for Orem City Center Park

I’m thrilled to share this 3-sided, 9-foot mural I created for Orem City Center Park! The mural is my celebration of our community and its many cultures—our individual colors rich and vibrant, and playing off each other. One person’s smile becomes another’s hairline, as we are united in our differences and varieties. (You might also spot a UFO or two!) The mural is beside the track on the south…

Library Park, 321 S Myrtle Ave, Monrovia, CA 91016

Library Park is about a city block in Old Town Monrovia. It’s mostly flat and grassy. The library takes up much of the space facing Myrtle Ave. with a playground and small bandshell behind the library. There are trees, benches, picnic benches, and a fountain. The playground/play structure is fairly large. It’s a nice looking park. You can even sit next to a statue of Mark Twain.

They had a nice display of flags for Veterans Day and will sometimes have concerts and events there. It’s a nice place for a short stroll or to sit and read. I spotted a few homeless but it wasn’t too bad. Street parking is usually available in the area.

This is the layout I made to present my Architectural Thesis (2019) which is titled Parque Bibliotheca: An Educational Park. It is a mixed used building mainly a library, auditorium and exhibit hall with other amenities such as cafe, outdoor discussion area and school and office supplies store. I proposed this because of its relevance in today’s modern society and how it can benefit the people of Bacolod City.

And for this, I was awarded with the Perfecto E. Marzoña Award as Best in Thesis. Feeling proud of my work hehe

Five for Friday

1                    In the ten years since its dedication there had been dissatisfaction with the access to the Children’s Room.  In 1983-84 a stairway between the main floor and the Children’s Room was built. At the same time the Children’s Room was enlarged by expanding into areas that were formerly contained the furnace and custodian’s room. 

2                    In 1987 during the holiday season, the Library began an adopt-a-book program.  By donating $10 individuals could choose a book title, cassette, record or microfilm on a list to be bought.  If they were willing to pay full price they could obtain a book not on the list and a book plate would be placed inside the cover of the item chosen. 

3                    In 1983 Harry Dundas Mahoney of Mt. Carmel, Illinois, a self-educated engineer, formerly over Ogdensburg bequeathed $173,913.54 to be used for the purchase of civil, mechanical, electrical and construction engineering books. 

4                    In the time period between April 1, 1897 and March 31, 1898 the Clark property was obtained which would become the Library Park.  The fence and surrounding hedge wall would be removed and walls would be constructed. 

5                   In March 1988 the Friends of the Library purchased a water fountain for Library Park.
