SUMMARY:Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture explores the multidimensional influence of hip-hop on our urban fabric.\nCurated and designed by Sekou Cooke\, and jointly presented by SoCalNOMA\, the A+D Museum\, and Helms Bakery District\, this dynamic exhibition dives into the rich and vibrant world of hip-hop\, from its fundamental elements of emceeing\, b-boying\, and graffiti\, to its influence on the world of design and architecture.\nThe exhibition shows how hip-hop has been translated into the creation of innovative spaces and structures\, effectively introducing a new narrative in architecture. The works on display include groundbreaking contributions from students\, academics\, and practitioners\, ranging from experimental visualizations and innovative installations to façade studies and urban development proposals. Also on show: a wall newly graffitied by Los Angeles artist Prime. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture is more than an exhibition. It’s a journey into a revolutionary design movement\, revealing a shared vision for the future of architecture that’s deeply rooted in the core ethos of hip hop: identity\, process\, and aesthetics. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture opens on June 22\, with an opening reception on June 24th from 6 pm to 9 pm. It will be accompanied by talks and tours presented by SoCal NOMA\, A+D Museum\, and Helms Bakery District. \nCurator: Sekou Cooke\nExhibition Design: Sekou Cooke\nGraffiti Artist: Prime \nArtwork above: HHA Signifyin’ project by Nate Williams\, 1993. \n\nThe exhibition is free and open to the public. \n8707 Washington Blvd\, Culver City CA 90232 \nExhibition Dates: June 22 – September 17\nHours: Thursday – Sunday 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			RSVP HERE\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		Close to the Edge Exhibition at SpringBox in St.Paul\, MN.\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		Close to the Edge exhibition at Center for Architecture\, New York\, NY.

SUMMARY:Westside Urban Forum presents An Evening of Urbanism: Frances Anderton & Josh Stephens
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 27th\, 2023\nHelms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City \n5:30 pm – 7:30 pm\n5:30 pm: Doors open for cocktails and viewing of Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip Hop Architecture\n6:30 – 7:30 pm: Program begins at Helms Design Center\n7:30 pm – onward: Drinks and discussion to follow at Father’s Office (no host) \nRSVP Required! \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			Members Register Here\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n			Nonmembers Register Here\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		\n			\nLos Angeles was built imperfectly\, at an imperfect time. Now it is trying to reinvent itself. Into what?\nThat’s Topic A for authors Frances Anderton (Common Ground: Multifamily Housing in Los Angeles) and Josh Stephens (The Urban Mystique) when they sit down to talk about Los Angeles\, community and urbanity today – from the house to the megalopolis. \nAs “home” moves from the suburbs to thoroughfares and backyards\, Frances considers how to sustain the region’s vaunted easy living – by adapting LA’s legacy of innovative\, bucolic and socially centered multifamily housing. Meanwhile\, Josh tries to make sense of the cultural\, political and real estate interests that make “shoehorning a new city into the old” so frustrating\, and so fascinating. \nThey will take on the struggles over housing\, the clash of scales that shape LA’s cityscape\, the arterial development that offers the chance for enlivened streets\, and the “zoning\, floor-to-air ratios\, density\, NIMBY-ism\, YIMBY-ism and all manner of arcane\, acronym-laden planning ideas” that\, in Josh’s words\, shape our idiosyncratic Southland. \nPlease join the Westside Urban Forum on the evening of Thursday\, July 27\, for a discussion between Josh and Frances to explore the ways that design\, planning\, policy\, and culture intersect — and reveal ways Los Angeles can learn from its past. \nThe event will open with refreshments and viewing of Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip Hop Architecture\, an exhibition co-presented by Helms Bakery District\, SoCal NOMA and A+D Museum. \nModerator\nNick Maricich\, Principal City Planner in the Housing Policy Division\, Los Angeles City Planning \nRegistration Fees\n$10 WUF Members\n$15 Non-Members \nPre-registration closes on Wednesday\, July 26\, at 4:00 PM. Onsite registration will be available at the cost of an additional $10. No refunds or credits will be provided after this day. \nCopies of books will be available to purchase\, courtesy of Arcana Books \nEvent Time\n5:30 pm: Doors open for cocktails and viewing of Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip Hop Architecture\n6:30 – 7:30 pm: Program begins at Helms Design Center\n7:30 pm – onward: Drinks and discussion to follow at Father’s Office (no host) \nLocation\nThe Helms Design Center is located at the Helms Bakery campus at 8745 Washington Boulevard in Culver City. \nDirections\nAvoid the stress of rush hour and skip traffic! The Helms Design Center at 8745 Washington Blvd in Culver City is conveniently located a short\, pleasant walk from a number of transit lines\, including: \nMetro Rail “E” (Expo) Line Culver City Station\n(1 block west at Washington and National Blvds) \nCulver City Bus “1” and “1C1” lines\n(at the adjacent Washington Blvd/Helms Avenue street corner) \nParking\nFor those who choose to drive\, parking is available in the adjacent interior parking garage at 8711 Washington Blvd (look for the red banners)\, or there is parking available throughout the Helms Bakery complex.

SUMMARY:Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture explores the multidimensional influence of hip-hop on our urban fabric.\nCurated and designed by Sekou Cooke\, and jointly presented by SoCalNOMA\, the A+D Museum\, and Helms Bakery District\, this dynamic exhibition dives into the rich and vibrant world of hip-hop\, from its fundamental elements of emceeing\, b-boying\, and graffiti\, to its influence on the world of design and architecture.\nThe exhibition shows how hip-hop has been translated into the creation of innovative spaces and structures\, effectively introducing a new narrative in architecture. The works on display include groundbreaking contributions from students\, academics\, and practitioners\, ranging from experimental visualizations and innovative installations to façade studies and urban development proposals. Also on show: a wall newly graffitied by Los Angeles artist Prime. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture is more than an exhibition. It’s a journey into a revolutionary design movement\, revealing a shared vision for the future of architecture that’s deeply rooted in the core ethos of hip hop: identity\, process\, and aesthetics. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture opens on June 22\, with an opening reception on June 24th from 6 pm to 9 pm. It will be accompanied by talks and tours presented by SoCal NOMA\, A+D Museum\, and Helms Bakery District. \nCurator: Sekou Cooke\nExhibition Design: Sekou Cooke\nGraffiti Artist: Prime \nArtwork above: HHA Signifyin’ project by Nate Williams\, 1993. \n\nThe exhibition is free and open to the public. \n8707 Washington Blvd\, Culver City CA 90232 \nExhibition Dates: June 22 – September 17\nHours: Thursday – Sunday 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			RSVP HERE\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		Close to the Edge Exhibition at SpringBox in St.Paul\, MN.\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		Close to the Edge exhibition at Center for Architecture\, New York\, NY.

SUMMARY:Book Signing with Photographer Jerry Hsu
DESCRIPTION:Join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing with photographer Jerry Hsu. \nWith a history encompassing professional skateboarding and his apparel brand Sci Fi-Fantasy\, Jerry Hsu’s photography practice is one of deep observation\, humor\, and everyday pathos. His new book Lonley City (Friend Editions\, 2023) is filled with iPhone photos taken while going about his life in the world – yet he seems to come across (or be more attuned to noticing) small moments that almost read as very short stories on the human condition. \nDue to the very limited supply of Lonley City\, Arcana is certain to sell out during Saturday’s signing\, so they will unfortunately be unable to accommodate advance orders via their website or phone as they typically do. Sales will be only at the event – strictly one copy per person\, first-come\, first-served. If you cannot attend\, and Arcana should miraculously have some left over\, please email Arcana to be put on a waiting list.
