Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA What’s Out There® Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA Dear What’s Out There Weekend Visitor, Welcome to What’s Out There Weekend Los Angeles, organized by The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF).The materials in this guide will tell you about the history and design of the places you can tour during this free event, the eighth in a series that we offer each year in cities and regions throughout the United States. Please keep it as a reference for future explorations of the greater Los Angeles region’s significant landscapes. On October 26th and 27th, 2013, during What’s Out There Weekend Los Angeles, residents and visitors have opportunities to discover more than forty of the region’s publicly accessible landscapes through free, expert-led tours. Los Angeles' landscape legacy ranges from its Spanish Colonial roots to the present and includes Asian, Hispanic, and African American heritage, along with a robust Modernist design history which connects indoors and outdoors in innovative ways. Explore LA landscapes through tours that include entertaining anecdotes and intriguing stories about city shaping, landscape architecture and the city’s design history. The tours reveal the story behind these valued places and the individuals who designed or made them. Photo © OLIN / Sahar Coston-Hardy One of LA’s great design distinctions is its history of Postmodernism, with public spaces that meld architecture, landscape architecture and art into one inseparable unit – these sites are denoted by the red dots on the map on the next page. Among the tour highlights is the Postmodernist network of parks and plazas in downtown Los Angeles designed by Lawrence Halprin, one of the nation’s most significant landscape architects (you can hear Halprin discuss his life and career in our Web-based Pioneers of American Landscape Design Oral History series). What’s Out There Weekend dovetails with the Web-based What’s Out There, the nation’s most comprehensive searchable database of historic designed landscapes. The database currently features more than 1,400 sites, 9,000 images and 700 designer profiles.What's Out There is The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) newly optimized for iPhones and similar handheld devices, and includes a new feature - What's TCLF provides the tools to see, understand and value landscape architecture and Nearby - a GPS-enabled function that locates all landscapes in the database within a 25-mile its practitioners in the way many people have learned to do with buildings and radius of any given location. their designers. Through its Web site, lectures, outreach and publishing, TCLF On behalf of The Cultural Landscape Foundation, I thank you for participating in What’s Out broadens the support and understanding for cultural landscapes nationwide to There Weekend and hope you enjoy the tours. help safeguard our priceless heritage for future generations.

It is here that European and Asian influences combined with the local environment, culture, politics and vernacular traditions to create an entirely new vocabulary of regional architecture and urban form. Lecture topics range from the stylistic influences of the Arts and Crafts Movement and European Modernism to the impact on architecture and planning of the automobile, World War II, or the USC School of Architecture during the 1950s. REQUIRED READING: Thomas S., Hines, Architecture of the Sun: Los Angeles Modernism, 1900-1970, Rizzoli: New York, 2010. You can buy this on-line at a considerable discount. Readings in Blackboard and online. Weekly reading assignments are listed in the lecture schedule in this syllabus. These readings should be completed before the lecture under which they are listed.

FIGUEROA STREET A postmodern mixed-use property bordered by Seventh and Figueroa streets The building consists of 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space—below a 283,000 SF Class A Office —including significant frontage feet of coveted frontage on major thoroughfare Figueroa. Figueroa Tower’s beautiful exterior combines the characteristics of traditional French architecture with the sleek verticality of a modern high-rise. These attributes, together with its location at the center of the Figueroa Financial Corridor, offer an aesthetic experience unlike any retail destination in all of Los Angeles. This corridor was solidified abuilding in California, the Wilshire Grand Center, opened directly across the street. This prestigious location boasts a high pedestrian volume and an unparalleled daily traffic count of 30,000. Such volume is thanks in part to being just steps away from retail supercenter FIGat7th, as well as sitting immediately above Seventh Street Metro Center Station, the busiest subway station in Los Angeles by far. Figueroa Tower also benefits from ongoing improvements to Downtown Los Angeles, which is currently undergoing its largest construction boom since the 1920s. In the last decade alone, 42 developments of at least 50,000 square feet have been built and 37 projects are under construction. This renaissance of development has reignited the once-sleepy downtown area into a sprawling metropolis of urban residential lofts and diverse retail destinations.

Paralleling the rise of mail art, Image Bank was a collaborative, postal-based exchange system between artists; activities included requests lists that were published in FILE Magazine, along with publications and documents which directed the exchange of images, information, and ideas.

    VIEW 2019 VIEW from the Director’s Office Dear Friends of LALH, This year’s VIEW reflects our recent sharpening focus on California, from the Bay Area to San Diego. We open with an article by JC Miller about Robert Royston’s final project, the Harris garden in Palm Springs, which he worked on personally and continues to develop with the owners. A forthcoming LALH book on Royston by Miller and Reuben M. Rainey, the fourth volume in our Masters of Modern Landscape Design series, will be released early next year at Modernism Week in Palm Springs. Both article and book feature new photographs by the stellar landscape photographer Millicent Harvey. Next up, Kenneth I. Helphand explores Lawrence Halprin’s extraordinary drawings and their role in his de- sign process. “I find that I think most effectively graphically,” Halprin explained, and Helphand’s look at Halprin’s prolific notebook sketches and drawings vividly illuminates the creative symbiosis that led to the built works. The California theme continues with an introduction to Paul Thiene, the German-born landscape architect who super- vised the landscape development of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego and went on to establish a thriving practice in the Southland. Next, the renowned architect Marc Appleton writes about his own Santa Barbara garden, Villa Corbeau, inspired—as were so many of Thiene’s designs—by Italy. The influence of Italy was also major in the career of Lockwood de Forest Jr. Here, Ann de Forest remembers her grandparents and their Santa Barbara home as the family archives, recently donated by LALH, are moved to the Architecture & Design Collections at UC Santa Barbara.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Betty Connors dated January 28, 2001. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
