Mission

The L.A. Forum provides opportunities for established and emerging creatives to engage with the Los Angeles community and beyond, on issues of significance to our cities, addressing natural, built, and social contexts. Through events and publications that are educational, inspirational, and hands-on, the L.A. Forum highlights how architects, planners, and designers are transforming the city, provoking thought, inspiring action, and engaging an enthusiastic community of residents invested in the future of Los Angeles.

We strive to create a flexible platform where designers and community members can come together, share their perspectives, and engage in positive actions to shape the future of our city. 

Values

At the L.A. Forum, we value equity, inclusiveness, and respectful dialogue. We are committed to promoting an open exchange of ideas, fostering spirited debate, and providing opportunities for all to engage with and impact their built environment.
