L.A. Forever: What does it take to build a forever city? 11:30 am | Helms Design Center | 8745 Washington Blvd., Culver City

Big ideas. Short formats. Bold futures.

“LA Forever” is a day of powerful ideas, bold design strategies, and visionary voices reimagining how Los Angeles can evolve with resilience, equity, and imagination. Through community-driven design, rapid rehousing, cultural preservation, and future-facing architecture, we ask: How do we rebuild—and reimagine—Los Angeles for the long term?

From lightning-style talks to hands-on activations, installations, and a keynote conversation with Barbara Bouza, this event is for anyone who believes design is essential to LA’s future.

Come for the ideas. Stay for the spark. Featured Speakers include:

- Michael Anderson (Anderson Barker Architects): "Designing for Rapid Response and Human Dignity"

- Genelle Brooks-Petty (BPC Interior Design): "Development In Tandem with Cultural Preservation"

- Carmen Suero (Good Project Company): TBD

- Kiana Martinez (UCLA / cityLAB): "Promoting a Community-Driven Future Using Community Engagement & Thick Mapping”

- Alvin Huang (Synthesis DnA / USC): "Design Futurism: Form Follows Values"

- William Virgil (Sci-Arc): TBD

- Joshua Foster (JAF): "Impact Strategy: The Foundation of Community Building"

- Nicole Comp (Akin Construction): "Community Building" / TBD

- Jaime Olmos (KFA Architects): "The Next LA: Reframing the Future of Housing"
