Home » RECORD Brings 2014 Innovation Conference to L.A.
Architectural Record will bring its acclaimed Innovation Conference to Los Angeles for the first time, on May 21. L.A.—a city known for blurring the boundaries between urbanism, architecture, and landscape—is the perfect place to host Breakthrough: Design at the Intersection of Art, Science & Technology. Held at the Frank Gehry–designed Walt Disney Concert Hall (2003), conference topics will range from the merging of landscape and architecture to the growing influence of Mexico’s architects, and the integration of contemporary art, technology, and design.
The day will kick off with a keynote talk by Jeanne Gang, founding principal of Studio Gang in Chicago. Gang will show such projects as the Arcus Social Justice Center, under construction in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and the recently completed WMS Boathouse in Chicago’s Clark Park. Artist Doug Aitken and founding principal of Allied Works Architecture Brad Cloepfil will discuss their collaborations, including a house in Dutchess County, New York. Panel topics include a case study devoted to the Cornell University tech campus planned for Roosevelt Island in New York City, with Thom Mayne, Marion Weiss, and Michael Manfedi presenting their schemes for various buildings.
