March 26 > CaliFERnication > Inglewood

It's no longer true that Inglewood is up to no good. On Saturday, March 26th, we're heading south (but still east of La Brea) for a visit with (fer) studio. The architects behind Father's Office in Culver City and Zen Zoo in Hollywood are currently working on a revitalization plan for Inglewood's underutilized Market Street. The master plan centers on a proposed MTA stop and explores the possibility of an urban agriculture zone, adaptive re-use zoning, and a green belt and water reservoir.

Join us for a studio tour and talk with principals Christopher Mercier and Douglas Pierson on their most recent projects and proposal to redefine a neighborhood better known for gangsta rap than green energy. Learn more about their approach to architecture in Inglewood and beyond.

Sat, March 26th
1:30pm- 3:30pm
(fer) Studios
1159 East Hyde Park Blvd
Inglewood, CA 90302

About de LaB

(that’s: design east of La Brea)
part design lab, part social experiment

de LaB (dee-lab) is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)3 nonprofit that celebrates and supports local creatives in their efforts to enlighten, improve and engage the city. Through monthly events that are educational and inspirational, de LaB unites an enthusiastic community of local residents who are invested in the future of L.A.

We firmly believe that the east side of Los Angeles is home to the most exciting creative community in the world. We hope to bring exposure to its artists, designers and architects—both legendary and emerging—through events, workshops and public engagement projects that focus on building a better L.A. Through these events, we explore the changing urban environment, discover new projects and ideas, and learn more about the city in which we live, helping us to become more passionate, invested Angelenos.

Want to know more about what we do? Here's a list of the events we hosted in 2012, a list of the events we hosted in 2011 and a list of the events we hosted in 2010.
