The Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design provides a
framework for design professionals and members of the general public to
explore, evaluate, and impact the development of architecture in Los
Angeles. Throughout its 20+ years of operation, the Forum has brought
together young designers, seasoned professionals, critics, urban
theorists, artists, students, and people interested in their physical
environment in a diverse series of activities. The Forum seeks to reach
out beyond the confines of professional organizations, schools and
established groups and does not limit itself to one approach to design
or theory. It provokes discussion, seeks out places and designs unseen
or unnoticed by the general public, publicizes architectural
investigation and commentary, and promotes the serious exploration of
strategies to influence the development of our urban environment.
