CITYWORKSLOSANGELES, a volunteer based forum of members from the architecture and design community acting as a catalyst for real world solutions in Los Angeles, is holding a book launch event on July 28th from 5 - 8 pm at the Herman Miller Los Angeles National Design Center.
The CITYWORKSLosAngeles: HANDBOOK answers 4 basic questions:
-
1. What stops people from getting involved in making a difference in the world?
2. What are the major challenges facing our world?
3. What can the average person do in their everyday life to make the world better?
4. What are examples of community based and socially relevant design projects?
