Forum Issue 6 : A Note on Downtown | summer 2004 editors : Vinayak Bharne and Alan Loomis After the Second World War, cities devastated by the conflict had to rebuild themselves. Los Angeles, devastated by self-inflicted Urban Renewal, began the rebuilding process soon after. This issue examines the several ways in which corporate architects adapted modernism to reconstitute the civic realm of Los Angeles. Forum Issue 5 : Parks | spring 2003 editors : Alan Loomis and Lize Mogel With summer upon us, and the outdoors beckoning, the Forum turns its attention to parks and recreational landscapes in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Through a series of essays, projects, and case studies, we outline the social/political/economic/ecological dimensions of open space in the city. Forum Issue 4 : Consuming the City | winter 2002/03 editor : Alan Loomis In the context of the Dead Malls competition, the winter edition of the Forum's newsletter examines the landscape and infrastructure of commerce. Covering both new and old shopping malls and districts, it provides a framework for understanding the issues and experience of retail design and property in the city.
