SUMMARY:Urban Land Institute's Young Leaders Take Over The Helms Design Center
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, October 6th from 6:30 – 8:45\, Urban Land Institute’s Young Leader Group takes over the Helms Design Center for “Shark Tank”. \nNimble\, flexible\, responsive. The small-scale developer is inherently entrepreneurial\, but that doesn’t always translate to easy access to capital. Financing small-scale development deals can be challenging due to smaller deal size and a sponsor’s limited track record. How do different capital sources assess the same opportunity? What gets their attention? What makes or breaks the funding decision? Listen in as a project sponsor pitches an actual deal to a panel of capital sources. To register\, please click here. \nPanelists:\n\nAllan S. Glass – President\, ASG Real Estate\nDavid Cacciapaglia – Managing Director\, Guggenheim Partners\nJeff Trenton – President\, Proficiency Capital LLC\nRyan Granito – Vice President of Real Estate\, Fundrise\nHoward Kozloff – Managing Partner\, Agora Partners\, Moderator\n\nRegistration:\n\nPrivate $35 (Non-Member $50)\nPublic/Nonprofit $30 (Nonmember $45)\nUnder 35 $25 (Non-Member $40)\nStudent $20 (Non-Member $30)\n\nPlease note that registration prices increase $10 after the registration deadline of October 4th. \nParking:\nFree valet parking is available in the interior parking garage at 8711 Washington Boulevard\, adjacent to the Helms Design Center. The Design Center is located one block east of the Culver City metro station. \nAbout Urban Land Institute\nAt the Urban Land Institute\, our mission is to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.

SUMMARY:Woodbury Presents Calibrating Viscosity: Techniques for Negotiating Earthen Materials
DESCRIPTION:Free\nPlease join us October 5th from 6:30 to 8:30pm for a panel discussion with faculty members from the Woodbury University School of Architecture to discuss the potential of working with earthen materials in contemporary design practice. Berenika Boberska\, Donatella Cusma\, Anthony Fontenot\, and Matthew Gillis for short presentations and a discussion moderated by Joshua G. Stein. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. Light bites and refreshments. Free valet parking at the corner of Helms Ave. and Venice Blvd. or take Metro Expo line to Culver City station\, one block west of the Helms Design Center. \nCalibrating Viscosity \nA sea change has occurred in design and planning based on a new intense mediation of our material context. As an ecological paradigm becomes increasingly embedded into the fundamentals of architecture practice and education\, so too has the technological capacity to negotiate these complexly physical systems. Cities are now mapped according to resource flows and management as much as abstract grids and idealized geometries while the discrete and (supposedly) static components of architectural construction are increasingly replaced with dynamic mixtures\, organic or mineral\, that often move during their production or over the life span of a building. In this new context\, the role of the architect tends more towards the complex orchestration of ingredients\, many of which are viscous and difficult to predict in their behaviors. \nThis panel discussion will examine earthen materials across various scales\, from ceramic building components to volatile environmental contexts\, with the intention of identifying techniques and concepts for negotiating rather than limiting their complexity. From the movement of ceramic materials during the firing process to the mapping of sediment flows\, how do we build with the vitality of the earth without confining its qualities to that of just another stock material\, easily quantified into specification charts? What are the necessary techniques for dealing with and influencing unstable matter\, either as context or as medium? Could these techniques define a new domain of knowledge that might encompass issues beyond material behavior alone? \nAbout the Panelists \nBerenika Boberska is the founder and principal of Feral Office\, based in Los Angeles\, an experimental practice engaged in architecture\, installation art and urban provocations. She also teaches architecture at Woodbury University\, in upper division design studios and topic studios (recently: The Rural Fantastic! and Solar Baroque ). Berenika graduated from the Bartlett School of Architecture in London\, under professor Sir Peter Cook. She also received her Master of Fine Arts from the Royal College of Art in London. Prior to starting her own practice she worked as a Design Architect for 6 years at Frank Gehry’s office\, where she developed an attitude towards a more expressive\, sculptural way of working through analogue models in parallel with sophisticated computer modeling and constructability. \nDonatella Cusma is co-founder of Claret-Cup\, a multi-disciplinary collaborative project with Bojána Bányász combining architecture\, fashion\, and graphic design. The two\, along with multiple other projects\, have co-authored a series of site specific installations such as “Greeting from the Los Angeles River” and “I love L.A.” Ms Cusma’ is a board member of R.I.E.A (Research Institute for Experimental Architecture) founded by visionary artist and architect Lebbeus Woods. With R.I.E.A. Donatella participated as faculty in several International Architecture Workshops in Sweden\, Hong Kong\, Switzerland\, and Italy. She currently is teaching Design Studio\, in the Interior Architecture department of Woodbury University.  In 2013 Cusma and Banyasz launched Map-a-Porter a project that links their passion for mapping the city and object making. The result is an ever-expanding series of active functional objects designed to spark conversations about cities. Ms Cusma is an AIA international associate since 2008 and a member of the Italian Board of Architects-Messina Chapter since 2004. \nAnthony Fontenot is a Professor at Woodbury University School of Architecture. He was awarded a Getty Fellowship for 2010-2011 and the Fellowship of the Society of Woodrow Wilson Scholars at Princeton University in 2009 and 2010. He is the author of numerous publications including New Orleans Under Reconstruction: The Crisis of Planning (Verso\, 2014)\, “Gregory Ain and Cooperative Housing in a Time of Major Crisis” in Making A Case (Princeton Architectural Press\, 2012) and the forthcoming books Non-Design and the Non-Planned City (Chicago University Press\, 2017) and Gregory Ain: Low-Cost Modern Housing and the Construction of a Social Landscape (UR Books\, 2017). He was a co-curator of the 2011 Gwangju Design Biennial in South Korea and the exhibition “Clip/Stamp/Fold: The Radical Architecture of Little Magazines 196X – 197X” (2007). He holds a professional Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Louisiana\, a Master of Architecture degree from Southern California Institute of Architecture\, and a Ph.D. in the history and theory of architecture at Princeton University. \nMatthew Gillis is the principal of the research and design practice G!LL!S. Gillis holds a Master of Architecture degree from the UCLA and Bachelor of Design in Architecture degree from the University of Florida. After working in the offices of Coop Himmel(b)lau in Guadalajara and Griffin Enright Architects in Los Angeles\, before starting his own practice. In addition to design projects\, Matthew is committed to research and publication; he currently sits on the editorial board for the Los Angeles Forum for Architectural and Urban Design. He taught at SCI-Arc\, OTIS College of Design and currently is an assistant professor at Woodbury University. \nJoshua G. Stein is the founder of Radical Craft and the co-director of the Data Clay Network\, a forum for the exploration of digital techniques applied to ceramic materials. Radical Craft is a Los Angeles-based studio that advances design saturated in history (from archaeology to craft) that inflects the production of contemporary urban spaces and artifacts\, evolving newly grounded approaches to the challenges posed by virtuality\, velocity\, and globalization. Recent projects engage earthen materials that resist easy manipulation\, whether in raw or consolidated states. He has taught at the California College of the Arts\, Cornell University\, SCI-Arc\, and the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. He was a 2010-11 Rome Prize Fellow in Architecture\, and is currently Professor of Architecture at Woodbury University.

DESCRIPTION:THIS SCREENING HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE LATE NOTICE. \nJoin us on Monday\, December 7th from 7:30 – 9:30pm for an evening of films including the screening of Standing on Sacred Ground – Fire and Ice. \nIn Part 1 of the 4-part documentary series Standing on Sacred Ground\, from Ethiopia to Peru\, indigenous customs protect biodiversity on sacred lands under pressure from religious conflicts and climate change. \nIn the Gamo Highlands of Ethiopia\, scientists confirm the benefits of traditional stewardship even as elders witness the de- cline of spiritual practices that have long protected trees\, meadows and mountains. Tensions with evangelical Christians over a sacred meadow erupt into a riot. In the Peruvian Andes\, the Qeros\, on a pilgrimage to a revered glacier\, are driven from their ritual site by intolerant Catholics. Qeros potato farmers face a more ominous foe: global warming is melting glaciers\, their water source. Andes farmers\, scientists and visiting Ethiopians struggle to adapt indigenous agriculture to the changing climate. \nUS 2014 56 mins.  Directed by Christopher McLeod \nSpecial Guests in Attendance: Sacred Ground director Christopher McLeod and Faith Against Fracking director David Braun. \nScreening with: Faith Against Fracking \nTickets are free but space is limited.  Please make a reservation to secure a seat. \nParking is located at the Free Valet in the lot on Helms Avenue and Venice Boulevard. \nThe Helms Bakery Festival events run Thursday\, December 3rd through Wednesday\, December 9th.  We hope you join us for a film screening or discussion\, enjoy an art installation or theatre performance\, or come to all of the events around our campus. The Festival umbrella brings together a collective of artists who have much to share about shaping a better future.

SUMMARY:Helms Bakery Partners With VisionLA To Screen "100 Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct"
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, December 6th from 7:00 – 9:00pm for an evening of films including the screening of 100 Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct. \n100 Mules is pure poetry in motion and not to be missed. On the centenary of the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct\, Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio performed One Hundred Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct\, a commemorative artist action to connect Los Angeles to its water source. This performative parade of 100 mules traversed the 240 miles of pipelines and canals that bring water from the Eastern Sierras through a gravity-fed system to Los Angeles; passing through three counties and nearly 50 communities along the way took over a month to complete. \nMule power shaped the modern West and was a primary force in constructing the aqueduct\, an engineering feat that took only seven years to complete despite the rough terrain. One Hundred Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct documents this action with a resolution to move forward into the next hundred years with renewed appreciation for this vital resource. Let it be resolved that the citizens of Los Angeles will do better at utilizing this life-giving resource in the next one hundred years! \nUS 2014 60 min.

Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway\, the film takes audiences on a satirically comedic\, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. \nFilmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic\, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change. \nUK 2014\, 96 mins.  Director Robert Kenner \nParking is located at the Free Valet in the lot on Helms Avenue and Venice Boulevard. \nThe Helms Bakery Festival events run Thursday\, December 3rd through Wednesday\, December 9th.  We hope you join us for a film screening or discussion\, enjoy an art installation or theatre performance\, or come to all of the events around our campus. The Festival umbrella brings together a collective of artists who have much to share about shaping a better future. For a complete Festival calendar\, click here. \nAbout VisionLA\n The VisionLA ’15 Climate Action Arts Festival is the first-ever multi-disciplinary arts festival throughout the greater Los Angeles area organized to give artists a voice in the increasingly urgent conversation around climate change\, resource use and environmental social justice. The festival is an all-volunteer\, grassroots effort organized by artists for artists\, and for the Los Angeles community as a whole. This first year\, the festival is timed to coincide with the UN’s COP21 Global Climate Conference in Paris\, from November 30 through December 11\, to raise awareness of this important milestone in the international call for strong carbon emissions standards.
