In conjunction with the California Historical Society's (CHS) latest exhibition, Experiments in Environment: The Halprin Workshops, 1966–1971, CHS, in partnership with SPUR, present an engaging public program with staff from several local architecture firms and non-profits who will discuss key projects, programs, and moments where public engagement and social activism played an important role. Hear short presentations of projects they have worked on that connect to activism, the public, and reshaping public space, and dive into a deep and engaging discussion around local architecture and how these firms, among others, are helping to evaluate, reflect, and redefine public space and urban design.
