Abstract
This thesis is a public swimming pool on a bridge that spans the Los Angeles River. As Southern California attempts to remake its water infrastructure in response to the ongoing drought, the introduction of public program to these infrastructural investments can make their urban effects more explicit. This thesis suggests that public bathing and swimming can provoke a new understanding of the city’s water as a shared resource and assert a new social life for the city that Los Angeles will become.
