It is not entirely clear whether this is part of Dreams Lost or whether this is a relatively silent part of Long Beach's waterfront development. According to the architect's (David Jay Flood) website, there are/were four concepts for the aquatic center. If based solely on the quality of architecture, the Belmont Plaza expansion is the best of the three. The three ground up concepts proposed in the downtown lack inspiration demanded of such a site, scale and use. A civic structure such as this demands the most enlightened hand, perhaps worthy of a design competition.
