"Located within the Hayden Tract area of Culver City, Conjunctive Points is a litmus test for how far redevelopment can be pushed. Over the past three decades husband-and-wife developers Frederick and Laurie Samitaur Smith have been buying old warehouses and land, and collaborating with architect Eric Owen Moss on almost 30 projects. Today, the Tract feels like one of the most buzzing places in LA for avant-garde design. Pterodactyl, a jaggedly beautiful office building, sits atop a parking garage from 1998, nestled between warehouses from the 1940s. Waffle resembles a misshapen cheese grater while the steel-ringed “information” edifice Samitaur Tower incorporates projection screens."
