Looking Good While Doing Good
Architecture, at its best, can improve people's lives and enrich the spirit. The architecture section of the CA Biennial shows buildings that accomplish both, often on tight budgets. KCRW's Frances Anderton will talk with architect Lorcan O'Oherlihy and LA Times Magazine Design and Culture Editor Mayer Rus about the challenges involved in realizing buildings that look good while doing good, as well as how one defines"good-looking" in an age lacking in shared aesthetic values.

Following KCRW's Frances Anderton's panel discussion, designer James Rojas who is currently featured in the California Design Biennial: Action/Reaction leads an interactive workshop that touches on issues of urban planning, land management and architecture. Using found objects as buildings, visitors will create their own imaginative cityscape. Creative Fun for the entire family!
