At 4:19, Shelly Kappe introducing Whitney Smith, A. Quincy Jones, John Lautner, and Carl Maston. Kappe silently presents a selection of slides depicting each panelist's work.
At 13:11, a brief video with highlights of last week's design forum is presented, featuring Gregory Ain, Harwell Harris, Thornton Abell, and Raphael Soriano. Ain argues that architecture is about solving a problem while Harris argues that architecture is about solving personal goals as opposed to social goals. Abell discusses form and function, and Soriano argues that style is thought with a minimum amount of words.
At 25:13 the live discussion begins. Carl Maston remembers Raphael Soriano and reflects on some stories from Soriano's history. Whitney Smith jokes about how various generations all believe they are going to save the world. He talks about the importance of communication, the AIA, and he compares the profession to a fraternity. A.Quincy Jones discusses the importance of ecological design. Lautner defines architecture as a search for a better human environment, the need for meaning in the work, and the difficulty of progress.
John Lautner discusses his arrival in California and getting started as a young architect. Whitney Smith brings up the subject of programming and collaboration. A. Quincy Jones discusses client relationships and programming in terms of a project for a factory. Carl Maston talks about clients in rocky marriages who turn to two things as a solution; building a home or having a baby.2020-09-30T20:00:22-07:0009/22/1976Los Angeles architecture and landscapesThe Kappe Library at The Southern California Institute of Architecture34.031900, -118.4631801800 Berkeley Street, Santa MonicaSCI-Arc media departmentDid Modern Design Improve the California Lifestyle?In Copyright - Educational Use Permitted (This Rights Statement can be used only for copyrighted Items for which the organization making the Item available is the rights-holder or has been explicitly authorized by the rights-holder(s) to allow third parties to use their Work(s) for educational purposes without first obtaining permission.)Curtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e

The growing resistance to corporate/government expropriation of communities — disguised as redevelopment — is symbolic of Asian America in movement. Chinatown in Honolulu and New York City, the International District in Seattle, Nihonmachi and Chinatown in San Francisco, Little Tokyo in Los Angeles: all bear witness to the determination of Asian Americans to create communities which help us move from a vital heritage to a vision of a better society." — Franklin Odoplain2020-10-14T12:57:36-07:0005/01/1972Visual CommunicationsIn Copyright -This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.

Douglas Sr., Douglas Aircraft Company was headquartered in Santa Monica until 1975, with satellite plants in other cities. The war effort in the 1940s led to an astonishing expansion at Douglas, where peak wartime employment was recorded at 160,000 workers. Many families counted multiple members as Douglas workers. The growth resulted in new trailer homes sprouting up in Santa Monica, meeting an unprecedented demand for housing.plain2020-10-14T13:55:12-07:0001/01/1940-12/31/1949Santa Monica Public LibraryCopyright Unknown -The copyright and related rights status of this Item has been reviewed by the organization that has made the Item available, but the organization was unable to make a conclusive determination as to the copyright status of the Item.
