Samitaur Tower, an information tower designed by Eric Owen Moss Architects in Culver City, California, serves as a landmark for the re-developed zone. Constructed at the intersection of Hayden Avenue and National Boulevard, it symbolizes urban development and provides various informational displays. Completed in 2010, the tower integrates with the new Expo light rail transit line from downtown Los Angeles.
The tower has both introverted and extroverted planning goals. Internally, it symbolizes the new urban development, provides changing art displays for local viewers, and offers graphic content and data on its five high-resolution rear projection screens about upcoming events and tenant achievements in the area.
Externally, it displays culturally significant content, local event information, and various art and graphic presentations to passing car audiences in Culver City and West Los Angeles.
The Expo Line, with an estimated ridership of 30,000 passengers per day, has two stations blocks east and west of the site. This ensures a large daily audience for the tower’s art displays and increases pedestrian traffic from the train stops to local businesses.
