SUMMARY:An Evening with AIA Gold Medal Winners Angela Brooks\, FAIA\, and Lawrence Scarpa\, FAIA
DESCRIPTION:Congratulations! \nHelms Bakery District Presents An Evening with AIA Gold Medal Winners Angela Brooks\, FAIA\, and Lawrence Scarpa\, FAIA\nThursday\, June 9th | 6:30 PM\nReception and Celebration of Brooks + Scarpa \nPrivate Invitation Only | RSVP Required\n8723 Washington Boulevard | Culver City \nAfter meeting at architecture school at the University of Florida\, Lawrence Scarpa\, raised in a family run restaurant\, and Angela Brooks resolved to not work together. That changed and now Brooks + Scarpa has won the AIA Gold Medal for a partnership dedicated to creating buildings that advance the art and technology of architecture. Through citizen activism they have also disrupted codes\, construction and the financing of buildings\, demonstrating the breadth of ways an architect can shape space and place. \n“Their efforts have fundamentally reshaped public policy initiatives that address critical issues and reforms that serve the public good\, increase housing equity\, and improve the built environment\,” wrote Steve Dumez\, FAIA\, and Douglas A. Benson\, FAIA\, in a letter nominating Brooks and Scarpa for the Gold Medal. \nBrooks + Scarpa has built on the foundations laid by Pugh + Scarpa\, founded in 1991 by Gwynne Pugh and Larry Scarpa. The firm has designed single and multi-family dwellings\, commercial\, institutional\, educational and governmental buildings. Most recently they won the commission to design a new Holocaust Memorial to be placed at the Florida State Capitol Building in Tallahassee. In Los Angeles they have made a deep imprint with affordable housing\, designing formally powerful buildings that also nurture social connection in contemporary variants on the Southland’s courtyard housing. “Form is important but it is experience that matters\,” say the duo\, adding that their body of work is united not by a signature look but rather an approach. “It is a sequence of spaces and not a form. We design from the inside-out.” \nBrooks and Scarpa also relish experimentation with texture and materials\, and have incorporated ping-pong balls\, crushed aluminum cans\, Dixie cups\, industrial brooms and glitter stucco into structures. “Architecture is most powerful when it is tactile. Many times people want to actually touch our buildings—walk up and feel the walls\,” says Scarpa. That material exploration met innovative sustainable design when they sheathed a wall at the Colorado Court affordable housing project\, for Community Corporation of Santa Monica\, with solar panels\, making the energy system into a decorative facade. Now they are pushing new limits with the NEST Toolkit\, a prefab home building system developed in collaboration with Plant Prefab\, that they hope will substantially cut construction costs. “That willingness to take risks has great rewards\,” says Brooks. “We are calculated risk takers.” \nDespite the seriousness with which they take their work\, they have held onto the love of a good party that Scarpa experienced at his father’s restaurant. \nSpecial thanks to the event sponsors:  \nAIA Los Angeles\, Bulthaup\, Labib Funk Engineers\, and Plant Prefab.

SUMMARY:A reception\, lecture\, and discussion with Lucia Allais
DESCRIPTION:Free – Please RSVP\nOn Tuesday\, June 4th\, from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm\, Helms Bakery District and the Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design will host a reception\, lecture\, and discussion with Lucia Allais – Designs of Destruction: The Making of Monuments in the 20th Century\n\nLucia Allais \nLucia Allais is an architectural historian and critic who writes about the relationship between architecture\, technology\, and politics in the modern period\, with a special focus on global practices and international institutions. \nHer first book\, Designs of Destruction (Chicago\, 2018) recounts the invention of the “cultural monument” as a global building type in the mid- 20th Century. She has published articles on related themes\, including: “The Architecture of Mediocracy\,” about the design of the UNESCO headquarters\, in Marcel Breuer: Building Global Institutions; “Integrities\,” about the Salvage of the Abu Simbel temples in Grey Room; “The Design of the Nubian Desert” in Governing by Design\, and a translation and commentary of Superstudio’s “Salvages of Italian City Centers” in Log. Allais also writes about contemporary design and about the history of architecture as a discipline\, having published “The Real and the Theoretical 1968\,” in Perspecta. \nForthcoming texts include: a short archaeology of architectural rendering\, in the 2019 edited volume Architecture and Technics; a book project on the ritualization of urban cores in the postwar; and a critical essay on the return of circular form in contemporary architectural design. \nAllais is co-leading\, with Forrest Meggers\, the project “Concrete is 100 years old” which investigates the history of carbonation equation in reinforced concrete\, and its consequences for notions of technical time in history\, architecture\, and the environment. \nAllais has curated a number of exhibitions\, including Legible Pompeii at the 2014 Venice Biennale and Mixed Being at the 2016 Istanbul Triennale. Her work has been supported by a number of fellowships\, including from the CASVA\, the Graham Foundation\, the Harvard Center for European Studies\, the Radcliffe Institute\, and the Princeton Society of Fellows. \nAllais is associate professor at Princeton University School of Architecture. She received her B.S.E from Princeton\, her M.Arch from Harvard and her Ph.D from MIT. From 2008 to 2011 she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Society of Fellows. She is a member of the Aggregate Architectural History Collaborative\, and an editor of Grey Room. \n\nIntroduced and moderated by Stephen Phillips\, AIA\, PhD\, Principal 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) \nFree Parking is available at the corner of Helms Ave. and Venice Blvd. \nPhotos (Above\, Left to Right): Lucia Allais; Cover from Designs of Destruction; Illustration from Designs of Destruction: The Salvage of Abu Simbel; Below: Illustration from Designs of Destruction: Ruins of National Museum in Accra. Building by Franco Minissi.

SUMMARY:A reception\, lecture\, and discussion with Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues of Ball-Nogues Studio
DESCRIPTION:Free – Please RSVP\nOn Thursday\, May 9th\, from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm Helms Bakery District and the Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design are excited to host a reception\, lecture\, and discussion with Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues of Ball-Nogues Studio \n\nBenjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues of Ball-Nogues Studio \nBenjamin Ball grew up in Colorado and Iowa where his mother’s involvement in theatre proved influential. While studying for his degree at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc)\, Ball logged a stint at Gehry Partners. Upon graduation\, he sought work as a set and production designer for films (including the Matrix series) as well as music videos and commercials with such influential directors as Mark Romanek and Tony Scott. His experience ranges from work on the Disney Concert Hall and small residential architectural commissions for boutique design firms to complex medical structures and event design. \nGaston Nogues was born and raised in Buenos Aires before moving to Los Angeles at the age 12. Frequently accompanying his father to his job as an aerospace engineer\, Nogues acquired a fascination with the hands-on process of building. An honors graduate in architecture from SCI-Arc\, he moved directly from school into a position at Gehry Partners where he worked in product design and production; he then became a specialist in creative fabrication. Nogues remained at Gehry’s office until 2005 (except for a one-year stint in 1996 as an assistant curator at a fine arts publishing house\, Gemini GEL). In his spare time\, Nogues flies paragliders. \nBall-Nogues is a collaborative design and fabrication studio led by Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues that produces architecture\, art\, and industrial objects. The studio has exhibited at major institutions throughout the world\, including the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; the Museum of Modern Art; the Guggenheim Museum; PS1; Indianapolis Museum of Art\, arc en rêve centre d’architecture + Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux; the Venice Biennale\, the Hong Kong | Shenzhen Biennale; and the Beijing Biennale. They have received numerous honors including two AIA Design Awards\, United States Artists Target Fellowships\, and a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. In 2007\, the Studio was the winner of the Museum of Modern Art’s Young Architects Program Competition. Recently\, their work became part of the collection of the MoMA. The partners have taught in the graduate architecture programs at SCI-Arc; the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, and the University of Southern California. Their work has appeared in a variety of publications worldwide including the New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Guardian\, Architectural Record\, Artforum\, Icon\, Log\, Architectural Digest\, and Sculpture. \n\nIntroduced and moderated by Stephen Phillips\, AIA\, PhD\, Principal 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) \nFree Parking is available at the corner of Helms Ave. and Venice Blvd. \nPhotos (Left to Right): Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues\, Installation at San Diego International Airport by Ball-Nogues Studio\, Healing Pavillion in Los Angeles by Ball-Nogues Studio. \n\nUpcoming Schedule\nMay 23rd Sylvia Lavin (rescheduled)\nJune 4th Lucia Allais (Princeton) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening + Reception with Architect and Filmmaker\, Mina Chow
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 20th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm\, please join us for a screening of FACE OF A NATION: What Happened to the World’s Fair?\, along with a reception with filmmaker and architect\, Mina Chow. \nThe film explores how the World’s Fair captured the imaginations and dreams of budding (and established) architects and why its importance has seemed to fade in America. What happened? Why has America’s participation declined? Does our current political climate mean that we’ll never be a part of a World’s Fair again? Examining these questions and more are why Women in Architecture (WiA LA) is excited to present a screening of this thought-provoking documentary by architect-filmmaker Mina Chow. \nChow achieved her professional goals\, but when she finally had the opportunity to attend the event that once inspired her\, she was shocked. Visiting the Shanghai World Expo in 2010\, she noted that the United States’ presence at the fair had dwindled to almost nothing. But why? Who was responsible? Her search for answers led to the making of “FACE OF A NATION“\, a documentary that takes a serious yet entertaining look at what these events meant to us as Americans – and what their absence means to our country as currently comprised. \nThe WiA LA invites you to this special screening to see how a country built by visionaries lost interest in such a visionary event and provides an opportunity to return to the optimism the World Fair embodies. \nThis Event Offers 2 AIA HSW Credits. \nSeating is Limited.
