LA Forum for Architecture and Urban Design

After an absence from print for over a decade, the Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design announces the relaunch of the LA Forum Newsletter. The premiere issue features architect Frank Escher on the clinical restoration of the Eames house and The Retronaut’s Simon Reynolds on past futures, as well as an interview with Radio Iris author Anne-Marie Kinney and a centerfold by James Michael Tate. In celebration of the return to pulp and ink, the LA Forum will be in New York City at Van Alen Books for a panel discussion between editor Mimi Zeiger, architect John Southern, and graphic designer Neil Donnelly. A live interview with Hitha Prabhakar, author of Black Market Billions, follows the panel and will be published in the Fall 2013 Newsletter. www.vanalenbooks.org
