With its 51-miles of channels paved for the most part with concrete, the Los Angeles River is surprisingly “invisible” in the cultural and physical landscape of the city.

The initial results of this ongoing research were presented as ten posters that attempt to “market” the complexities of a hydrologic system that is inadequately defined by its namesake.
