California Design NOW: Temporary Insanity: The New Built Environment

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 | 7 pm

The Decorative Arts and Design Council presents a wide-ranging discussion on the influence of modern California design on contemporary architecture. Panelists will consider the emergence of temporary architectural installations, the blurring of distinctions between art and architecture, and future directions for the field. Organized in conjunction with the exhibition California Design 1930-1965: "Living in a Modern Way."  

The panel features three prominent architects that are shaping the field today:
Benjamin Ball, Ball-Nogues Studio
Jenna Didier, Materials & Applications
Jenny Wu, Oyler Wu Collaborative
Frances Anderton, moderator and host of DnA: Design and Architecture on 89.9 KCRW and Los Angeles editor of Dwell
