Curating the City: Modern Architecture in L.A.
The Conservancy was thrilled to participate in Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A. by reprising our Curating the City program with a focus on Greater L.A.'s amazing legacy of Modern architecture.
Treating the built environment as a living museum, the Conservancy is curating fifty years of Modern architecture through tours, panel discussions, this innovative new website, and more.
From the transformation of downtown’s Bunker Hill to 1970s and ’80s gems in Venice, Curating the City: Modern Architecture in L.A. highlights our unparalleled Modern legacy and the need to preserve it for future generations.
Modernism is in L.A.'s DNA.
It has helped define our built environment, our communities, and our lives -- and likewise, L.A. played a key role in Modernism's development and influence.
This section of the L.A. Conservancy's website was developed as a permanent resource as part of Curating the City: Modern Architecture in L.A. It will live far beyond the live programming in the series, continuing to expand with new content and features over time.
