Summary:

"Founded in 1980 by Harvard-educated architect Brenda A. Levin, the urban design and architecture firm Levin & Associates received worldwide attention early in the decade for its revitalizing historic preservation work on some of Los Angeles' most-beloved landmarks. In a city defined by boom and suburban expansion, the firm found itself among the pioneers of urban revitalization who were able to restore life to parts of the city that nearly everyone had written off." "The scope of Levin & Associates' work includes urban design and master planning, large-scale renovation and adaptive re-use of historic buildings, and the design of new institutional, commercial, and multi-family housing facilities. For 20 years the firm's designs have built upon the existing context, responding to the site by understanding the life of the street, museum or student union. A concern for enhancing urban memory and the humanity of a project has positioned it to be an active problem solver in the issues and districts of a complex city and region. Geographically, Levin's project sites blanket Southern California."--Jacket.
