Beyond the Bulldozer: Survey LA

This colloquium will spotlight SurveyLA, the City of Los Angeles' groundbreaking citywide historic resources survey project that represents a coming-of-age for preservation in Los Angeles. The engaging author and architectural critic Alan Hess will share his reflections on preserving the "recent past" from the mid-20th-century – from "Googie-style" coffee shops to the 1950s ranch house. And developer John Given of The CIM Group will bring a private sector perspective on the challenges and opportunities of historic preservation and adaptive reuse projects. Seating is limited; please RSVP by Wednesday, November 19th to Alice Lepis at alepis@prodigy.net (preferred); also at 818.769.4179
