Giving existing buildings a new life is a conversation we’re always glad to be part of.
On September 30, Omgivning Founder + Principal Karin Liljegren, FAIA, will join the Historic Preservation in LA panel at the Hammer Museum, from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. The conversation is part of the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation’s Industry Leaders Roundtable, taking place in Los Angeles September 30 - October 1.
At Omgivning, we spend our days exploring what existing buildings can become. Each project brings its own history, character, and challenges. Through adaptive reuse, we work with those qualities to create places that support new ways of living, working, and gathering. Karin will bring that perspective to a discussion about preservation and its role in LA’s future.
Joining her are:
Katie Horak, Principal at Architectural Resources Group
Photographer and Author Janna Ireland
Trudi Sandmeier, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Director of Graduate Programs in Heritage Conservation at USC School of Architecture
Chris Morris, Senior Director of Preservation Programs at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, will moderate.
The day also includes a conversation with Hammer Museum Director Zoë Ryan, a tour of the museum’s renovation with Michael Maltzan Architecture Principal Hannah Hoyt, and an LA Housing panel with Dana Cuff, Frances Anderton, Julie Eizenberg, and Phoebe Yee. Across the two days, participants will have special access to the Hammer Museum, LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries, and The Grand LA.
As a woman-owned practice and certified Women’s Business Enterprise, we’re pleased to support BWAF’s work to advance women’s leadership and recognition across architecture, engineering, and construction.
