At the turn of the 21st Century Los Angeles is once again a center for architecture and design that challenges our notion of how place is created. Join Chang, as she talks about five local institutions that give the city's design minds space to play with ideas. New projects from the MAK Center, Materials & Applications gallery, the Institute for Figuring, the Sundown Schoolhouse and the Center for Land Use and Interpretation will be shown and discussed.
Chang lives and works in Los Angeles and also writes for the Los Angeles Times, the LA Weekly and the BBC. Her travel book, art/shop/eat los angeles was published last year.
The Architecture & Design Council (ADC) is made up of over 200 Art Museum members who focus on contemporary issues and innovations in architecture and design. In addition to special events at private residences, the ADC sponsors an annual symposium, a lecture series, and tours to architecturally significant sites. For more information on the ADC, call Jennifer McDonald at 760.325.7186 x: 118.
