The AIA/LA Urban Design Committee presents:
The Emerging Urban Designers Forum
Wednesday, June 10 (7-9 pm)
@ AHBE Landscape Architects
"Walk This Way: Exposing Urban Infrastructures"
Location: AHBE Landscape Architects
8729 Washington Blvd
Culver City, CA 90232
The conversation will be focused on sustainable urban infrastructures and how they interface with the pedestrian experience. How can the practice of urban design encourage and support sustainability and green infrastructures? How can existing infrastructures be transformed into greener technologies? What existing conditions restrict the implementation of green infrastructures? Should watershed and other infrastructural boundaries drive planning/zoning? What impact do / should these systems have on the public realm?
Show-and-Tell: Please bring photos or boards of visual materials to illustrate your ideas, (no electronic files, please).
8.30 pm: The Social
Father's Office, 3229 Helms Ave., Culver City
RSVP to will@aialosangeles.org, capacity is limited.
Arrive early and take a look at the progression of the Expo Line, next door to the office.
The Emerging Urban Designers Forum is part of the AIA/LA Urban Design Committee. The "Forum" is geared towards emerging designers and meets at urban design offices around Los Angeles to discuss the practice and future of urban design in LA. The forum is held from 7-8:15 pm to discuss relevant topics and explore the work and offices of fellow designers. Forum topics and locations are to be decided by the group each month. At 8:30 after the forum, we'll continue the conversation at a nearby bar or cafe in a casual setting.
