- Pacific Design Center Celebrates Brit Week with Oscar Winner Arnold Schwartzman
Presentation and Book Signing: London Art Deco by Arnold Schwartzman
Monday, May 5th at 7:00 PM
Blue Conference Center, Suite B259
In over 200 colour images, this title shows the way in which the style influenced architects and designers working on every scale, from entire buildings to the finest decorative detail. Features cinemas, theatres, hotels, department stores, Underground stations, factories, civic, corporate and residential buildings across London.
Each country assimilated Art Deco in a different way, adapting it to suit its own historic traditions in terms of design, materials and techniques. In Britain, Art Deco developed in ways that reflected the country's imperial status and the national love of architectural detail. In London, in particular, Art Deco quickly became the style of choice for succession of landmark buildings: from elegant Savoy Hotel, through ornate West End theatres, to imposing temples of commerce such as the Daily Express building in Fleet Street or the Hoover factory on the new Great West Road. Remarkably, many of the country's Art Deco buildings still survived their once grime-covered facades now mostly scrubbed clean, beautifully displaying their many sculptural features, all captured here and celebrated by the camera of Arnold Schwartzman. London-born Arnold Schwartzman is a renowned graphic designer and documentary film-maker. In 2002 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) , and in 2006 was elected a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI).
On view May 5th – May 31st
Exhibition: 50 Years of Britain and Los Angeles
1st Floor Blue Lobby
An exhibition of 50 Years of Britain and Los Angeles, produced by the husband and wife team of Arnold and Isolde Schwartzman, will help mark the fiftieth anniversary of the British Consul General's official Residence in Hancock Park. The exhibition consists of several panels packed with images and information about the many connections between Britain and Los Angeles in the 1950s and in each subsequent decade until the present day, as well as a panels covering the earlier connections and one on the history of Residence itself. The panels are beautifully designed by the Schwartzmans, who for many years did the design work for the Motion Picture Academy Awards. Arnold Schwartzman is himself an Oscar winner, for a documentary he made in 1981. Like many of those involved with BritWeek, Arnold is a transplanted Brit and longtime resident of Los Angeles. Among many other services to his adopted city, he was Director of Design for the LA Olympics in 1984.
The exhibition will be shown at the invitation-only reception at the Residence on April 26th and then at the BAFTA/LA Comedy Awards Gala at the Four Seasons Hotel on May 1st. From May 2nd, the Exhibition will be on public display at the Pacific Design Center at 8687 Melrose Avenue, where it will stay for the rest of the month.

- Description:
- How can a city be both democratic and beautiful? Is an inclusive planning process inherently at odds with excellent urban design and architecture? Or is it possible for public process to support great architecture and great urbanism? Most importantly, how is this tension playing out in Los Angeles and San Francisco, two of the great West Coast cities?
Please join the Westside Urban Forum, the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association, and the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Institute of Architects welcoming Los Angeles Times Architecture Critic Christopher Hawthorne, San Francisco Chronicle Architecture and Urban Design Columnist John King and moderator David Abel, publisher of The Planning Report for a frank and fascinating exploration of this topic.
Wine and cheese will be served.
Business attire.
This event is the second installment of the SF-LA "Open Dialogue" series, bringing together leaders from both cities to learn from one another's experience and raise the level of discourse on key issues impacting California's urban future. It has been made possible through the generous support of the David Bohnett Foundation, Wilson Meany Sullivan, HOK and Allen Matkins.
