Summary:
Many of the projects described in the "Handbook" have combined innovative architectural training with cross-cultural immersion, social activism, and environmental science, using design skills (and where appropriate) hands-on construction projects to confront poverty and urgent social problems. Often involving community members and students, these case studies promote maximum use of recycled or inexpensive, locally available materials, as well as lighting and energy systems that reduce utility costs and promote resource conservation. Not all the projects are specific to the City of Los Angeles, but they are examples of the types of projects CITYWORKSLA hopes to develop. Our aim is that the case studies assembled within the "Handbook" will serve as models for making architectural education relevant to urgent social problems, helping communities mobilize indigenous resources and social capital to develop long-term sustainable practices that protect, rather than erode, cultural identity, dignity, and stability. Edited by Elizabeth Martin with articles by : Peter Aesbacher, Chantal Aquin, Monique Birault, John Cary, Jeanine Centuori, Joaquin Herranz, Jr., Maria-Rosario Jackson, Florence Kabwasa-Green, Bruce Lindsey, Vic Liptak, Elizabeth Martin, Ken McCown, William McDonough, Russell Rock, Leslie Thomas, John Quale.
