small talks: LA – REIMAGINE. REUSE. RECLAIM.

The third installment of the small talks:LA series centers around the idea of communities as urban designers of their own neighborhoods. You can join small talks:LA for an interactive design workshop focused on rescuing and repurposing vacant or poorly-used city lots and the transformation of urban land into community green space. Located in LA State Historic Park – once the site of an old Southern Pacific train station and its own stellar example of repurposed space – this participatory workshop will invite attendees to share ideas, creativity and imagination towards designing a plan that not only can transform vacant lots into community green space but also potentially help solve pressing environmental problems. Everyone is welcome – this is a great opportunity for the whole family to get involved.

This event is leading up to the May 8th opening of the exhibition 2 X 8 Exchange at Helms Design Center in Culver City.
