He also played a key role in the Athletics Ballpark Masterplan\, shaping a vision for an integrated sports district.

His work on private homes along the Pacific Coast and Not A Hotel in Setouchi\, Japan\, creates bespoke spaces deeply connected to their surroundings. \nLeon’s projects shape how people live\, learn\, work\, and gather\, from urban-scale developments to private homes. \n\nIntroduced and moderated by Stephen Phillips\, FAIA\, PhD\, of Stephen Phillips Architects (SPARCHS) and professor\, director\, Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design (California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo). \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			\nPhotos: (Top) Google Bay View © Iwan Baan; (Above\, left to right) Leon Rost © Bruce Damonte; Toyota Woven City © Squint Opera Ltd; (Below) Johns Hopkins Student Center ©BIG \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			\nSPONSORED BY
