AIA - Cambia Designs LLC; and Aleks Istanbullu, AIA - Aleks Istanbullu Architects.
The tour will begin in the Los Feliz Hills, with its small lots and breathtaking views of Hollywood and downtown. Next you will be directed to a home off of Nichols Canyon where you can get a sense of LA Canyon living-quiet, peaceful and secluded. No tour of the Hills would be complete without a sample of glitz and glam living above the Sunset Strip. And finally the tour will take you the historical Trousdale Estate with a smart example of modern contemporary architecture in the form of a guesthouse. The ultra-modern guesthouse stands in juxtaposition to its more traditional counterpart but the complimentary structures confirm the harmony between contemporary architecture and a traditional landscape.
Tickets: Non-AIA Member: $75; AIA Member: $65

Does Better Design Make for Better Health?
Monday, September 20, 7:30 pm
Petersen Automotive Museum
6060 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA
Hospitals and clinics are not generally considered well-designed places for today's healthcare needs, but a growing number of hospitals and clinics are taking design and architecture into consideration with an eye toward patient outcomes and quality of care. The shifts have been shown to aid recovery, boost morale, decrease hospital-caused infections, calm patients, and create better communication between doctors, nurses, families, and patients.
Could good design make for good health and save money in the process? Zócalo invites James Theimer, principal architect and founder of the Redding firm of Trilogy Architecture, Robin Orr, a board member of the Center for Health Design, and Mary Dee Hacker, Vice President of Patient Care Services of the Children's Hospital Los Angeles, to explore how medical care environments harm us, and how they could help us.
Tickets: Free, Validated parking $8
