AWA+D Symposium 2016 – Does Gender Matter?

The Association for Women in Architecture was founded almost 100 years ago for the purpose of advancing and supporting women in their careers in an exceedingly male dominated industry.  Clearly, a lot has changed since our organization was formed.  But even today, statistics continue to show that a deficit exists between male and female career advancement, pay and leadership within the field of Architecture and its allied industries.

4th Annual CODAawards

CODAworx, the online hub for the commissioned art world, launched last month the 4th annual CODAawards. The CODAworx site connects artists and designers who create site-specific commissions with the companies and organizations who commission, and the CODAawards were made to recognize the most successful integration of art into interior, architectural, and public spaces. These awards honor the design and art professionals whose collective imaginations create those perfectly amazing spaces.

About the house:

Located on the slopes above Beverly Hills, this Angelino gem has been the host of films, celebrity guests and scores of admiring architectural professionals and enthusiasts.  Current occupant James Goldstein purchased the home in 1972 and spent years restoring the home with Lautner himself.  He has been working for over 10 years with Lautner protege, Duncan Nicholson, on an addition that includes a guest house, tennis court, nightclub and terrace.  Staying true to Lautner’s original aesthetic, all components of the addition make use of poured-in-place concrete, angular corners and stunning views of Los Angeles.
