Finally, something beneficial coming out of L.A.

Kidding...

But the 'Arc' designed by Doug Suisman, seen here, is an intriguing concept. I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about architecture or urban planning, but I do know that giving someone a glimpse of a possible working future can have a dramatic impact on the present. When a conflict drags on and on for so long it is hard to imagine that there is any possibility of the situation ever changing. A picture of what the future could potentially look like is a powerful thing, and so is hope.
Moreover, I think its incredibly comendable to take what you know and apply it to something bigger. See, anyone can make a difference!
