The City of Los Angeles has issued a Request for Ideas (RFI) inviting artists, architects, designers, students, and other members of the public to submit ideas for a permanent physical memorial to a shocking but largely forgotten incident in Los Angeles history: the lynching of 18 Chinese at the hands of a vigilante mob in Los Angeles on October 24, 1871, the largest massacre of Chinese in California history and the largest mass killing of any kind in Los Angeles history (almost 10 percent of the city’s Chinese population at the time). Here is a link to the RFI.

Inscriptions: Architecture Before Speech presents a theory of contemporary architecture that spans the work of 112 practices in 750 images. Against the popular characterization of contemporary architecture as a centerless field where anything goes and everything is possible, this book argues that much recent work belongs to a collective undertaking. Underneath the impression of kaleidoscopic difference produced by the rapid circulation of design images is a shared mechanism, an agreement about how architectural objects emerge from the procedures of design. This mechanism, which we call inscription, manages to both offer fundamentally intelligible form to architecture’s audiences and advance the field toward novel outcomes. The ensuing work is nothing less than democratically optimistic in its wide appeal and challenging in its cuts against convention. Featuring essays by Catherine Ingraham, Lucia Allais, Stan Allen, Phillip Denny, Edward Eigen, Sylvia Lavin, Antoine Picon, and Marrikka Trotter, Inscriptions offers a broad array of critical perspectives on work that defines architecture’s second decade of the twenty-first century.

During the Call for Concepts we invite creatives from all over the world to submit a concept for a light artwork. Do you have an illuminating idea? Then join our call!
