Each month, Friends of Residential Treasures Los Angeles (FORT: LA) curates a new self-guided trail, inviting Angelenos to explore the city's rich architectural heritage. These immersive experiences highlight significant homes, hidden gems, and the designers who have shaped Los Angeles' built environment.

Join us for an exclusive talk on architecture & photography on Wednesday, October 8th, from 6 - 8:30 PM.

Held at New York City's Rockefeller Center, home to World Monuments Fund (WMF)'s global headquarters, the 2025 Summit welcomes experts and audiences from around the globe for a one-of-a-kind event.

This panel discussion will explore how the right to housing—in Los Angeles and globally—isn’t just a political, legal and economic issue, but also an architectural one. What does the right to housing mean in practice? And how can designers contribute? Moderators Dana Cuff (cityLAB UCLA) and Karen Kubey (University of Toronto) will be joined by architect Julie Eizenberg and Professor of Urban Planning Ananya Roy to discuss these urgent questions and examine promising housing models, laying the groundwork for ways forward.

Step into a world in which interconnectedness and innovation abound with
"Janet Echelman: Radical Softness," on view Nov. 16, 2025-April 26, 2026, at Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design. Janet Echelman's solo exhibition at Sarasota Art Museum traces more than four decades of her path-breaking career, offering an intimate look at Echelman's artistic evolution through drawings, paintings, textiles and the artist's renowned monumental, netted sculptures and sculptural dance performances. The exhibition also marks the debut of a series of cyanotypes created from 3D models and photographs made during her design process, translating her monumental forms into a new photographic medium that uses the environment — sunlight — as both method and subject.
