  • 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).
