SUMMARY:The 2nd Annual AIA|LA Immigration Summit: Workforce Leadership and the Future of Architectural Practice
DESCRIPTION:Click here for Ticket Purchase Instructions & Support. \nEVENT DETAILS\nWorkforce Leadership and the Future of Architectural Practice \nBuilding on the success of the inaugural 2025 AIA|LA Immigration Summit\, this second convening deepens the profession’s engagement with immigration as a force shaping workforce resilience\, firm leadership\, and the future of architectural practice in Los Angeles. Amid a shifting federal policy landscape\, the 2026 Summit equips architects\, educators\, and emerging professionals with actionable strategies — while amplifying the voices driving change. \nSUMMIT THEMES & STRATEGIC INTENT \nThe 2026 Summit synthesizes four interconnected themes that carry the conversation from the 2025 inaugural event into actionable territory: \n\nEconomic Impact → Firm Strategy The 2025 Summit documented immigrants’ outsized contribution to California’s AEC economy. In 2026\, we translate that data into firm-level practice: how should leaders recruit\, retain\, and advance this talent?\nPolicy Landscape → Professional Response New federal rules threaten to remove architecture from recognized professional degree classifications\, cutting off the international student pipeline. The Summit equips professionals to respond and advocate.\nEducational Pipeline → Licensure Access. From an international student to a licensed architect is a complex journey. The Summit maps barriers\, highlights successful pathways\, and connects students with mentors.\nWorkforce Resilience → Leadership Development Post-wildfire Los Angeles is rebuilding. The AEC industry depends on a diverse\, skilled workforce. The Summit strengthens the profession’s capacity to lead through disruption.\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND \n• Architecture firm principals and managers seeking workforce strategies\n• Emerging professionals navigating licensure as first-generation or international graduates\n• Architecture students exploring careers in the U.S. context\n• Educators designing inclusive curricula and student support programs\n• AIA Fellows\, senior practitioners\, and JEDI advocates\n• Allied AEC professionals in engineering\, construction\, planning\, and landscape architecture \nClick here to sponsor this event! \nFinancial Sponsors will be recognized through promotional materials\, event signage\, printed program\, and verbal acknowledgment.

SUMMARY:Wonderland Houses
DESCRIPTION:Photographer Credit: Marilu Godinez \nArchitecture Firm Credit: MUTUO \nSee Full Credit List Below \nTOUR DETAILS\nThe hillside project redevelops & densifies a challenging site in the Hollywood Hills where a single-family residence once occupied 3 parcels.\nThe design reimagines both the single family private living spaces and the shared communal open spaces of the three interconnected units. The modernist tradition to connect with the outdoors is here primarily interpreted with the inhabitation of the rooftops. \nThree terraces dominate the canyon and allow the expansion of the square footage while bringing the users to enjoy the sunset light Los Angeles is known for. The houses step down with the topography in a rhythmic composition of sloping walls and glazing arrangements that respond to the interior program. \nAwards:\n2021 American Architecture Award\n2021 AIA|California Residential Merit \nSelected Publications:\nWonderland in Hollywood\, Abitare\n10 residential projects in Los Angeles by LA architects we liked this month\, Archinect\nWonderland Houses\, Dwell magazine \nTOUR HOSTS\n \nJose Herrasti\, AIA Los Angeles\, Founding Principal\, Mutuo \nJose Herrasti obtained a bachelor’s in architecture from Universidad Cristobal Colon\, Veracruz\, Mexico (1993)\, and a master’s in advanced architectural design from Columbia University\, New York (1997). He was a professor at Calpoly Pomona (2015 to 2017) and was a John G. Williams Distinguished Visitor at the Fay Jones School of Architecture (2022). Jose was president of the LA Forum for Architecture and Urban Design (2022 and 2023). He currently teaches at USC\, Los Angeles. \n \nLorena Garcia\, Founding Principal\, Puente Alameda \nLorena Garcia is a landscape architect\, educator\, and curator.

SUMMARY:The Egyptian Theater
DESCRIPTION:Photographer Credit: Mike Hume \nArchitecture Firm Credit: Gensler \nSee Full Credit List Below \nTOUR DETAILS\nGensler collaborated with Netflix to reimagine key elements of The Egyptian Theatre and create an authentic sense of belonging at the century-old historic landmark nestled in the heart of Hollywood\, California. The meticulous redesign of the Art Deco-era theatre spans across its architectural interiors\, exterior entrance\, and signage and wayfinding\, and additionally introduces a permanent narrative storytelling exhibit showcasing its rich history. \nIn line with the approach of The Egyptian’s original artisans\, our interior design concept creates harmonious flow by blending both Egyptian design influences and contemporary abstractions. The modernization deeply prioritizes cultural sensitivity\, reverence\, and inclusivity in a thoughtful and respectful manner across the space\, from the gold-finished papyrus crowning the main gate\, to the customized floor pattern reflecting a falcon’s wings\, to the carefully researched color palette. \nOur multidisciplinary approach extended beyond researching the theatre’s history\, and ultimately revealed a meaningful connection between entrepreneur Sid Grauman’s original desire for inclusive immersion and Netflix’s vision for an open\, welcoming\, and engaging space for today’s patrons. Through this mirroring\, along with the theatre design’s renewed balance of cultural authenticity and modern creativity\, the redesign captures the true essence of The Egyptian’s 100-year history and positions it to entertain audiences for years to come. \nIn 2024\, the Los Angeles Conservancy recognized Gensler’s work with Netflix on the project with the Conservancy’s Chair’s Award\, noting that The Egyptian Theatre “remains a focal point on Hollywood Boulevard and an important place to experience cinema history.” \nTOUR HOSTS\nDenise Zacky-Popoch\, AIA\, Principal + Design Director\, Gensler \nWith more than 20 years of design experience\, Denise leads a diverse range of projects\, with a focus on media and technology clients. As a workplace thought leader\, Denise understands that communicating a company’s unique brand and culture through its work environment is a powerful opportunity to connect employees to the mission and values of the organization. A passionate client advocate\, Denise serves as the Southwest Regional Client Relationship Leader\, working across the region to strengthen our client partnerships with brands including Netflix — now a global account with built projects in Los Angeles\, Amsterdam\, and Brazil — as well as Hulu\, Riot Games\, and DreamWorks. With a commitment to mentorship and ongoing education\, Denise has taught at Southern California Institute of Architecture\, the USC School of Architecture\, and continues to serve as an active panelist for industry discussions. \nRick Kotani\, AIA\, Project Architect\, Gensler \nRick is a Southern California native who grew up in Santa Monica. \nHe attended University of California Berkeley graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture. Before returning back to Los Angeles\, Rick made a quick trip to Japan for an internship at a Japanese architectural firm\, Kume Sekkei. There\, he had the opportunity to work in a Project Development team to propose Japan’s first casino. \nAfter returning back to Los Angeles\, Rick gathered experience in an interior architecture working on single-family residences throughout Southern California. He then stepped into the realm of retail working for the Guess Brand store planning team – working on test fits and space plans for a global roll-out. \nTOUR MEETING SPOT \nFront of Building – 6712 Hollywood Boulevard\, Los Angeles 90028 \nAIA CES: 1.0 LU Approved\nPARKING \nUnderground parking nearby\, metered on-street parking. \nFULL CREDIT LIST (Architects\, Builders\, Engineers\, etc.)\nSyska Hennessy – MEP \nStructural Focus – Structural Engineer \nLighting Design Alliance – Lighting

SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: The Sheats-Goldstein Residence and Club James (2026) - Tour 1
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Jeff Green Photography \nARCH TOUR FEST: The Goldstein Estate – Tour 1 @ 10:30 pm\n(aka The Sheats-Goldstein Residence and Club James)\nInformation regarding the tour will be emailed directly to registrants 24 hours before the event. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTour Led by:\n \nKristopher Conner\, AIA\, NCARB\, and James Perry\, NCARB\, of Conner & Perry Architects\, Inc. \nTour Organizers:\nConner & Perry Architects\, Inc.\nThe Goldstein Estate is home to the iconic Sheats-Goldstein Residence (1963) by John Lautner. Originally constructed for the Sheats family in the early 1960’s\, the house was purchased by James Goldstein in 1972 and he enlisted Lautner to embark on a series of renovations and improvements to “perfect” the home\, until the architect’s passing in 1994. At that time there were schematic designs in place for adjacent entertainment facilities\, including a tennis court\, guest house\, and garage/maid’s quarters. Lautner protege\, Duncan Nicholson\, took over the renovations to the home and continued to develop the designs for the entertainment facilities as well as the construction of the James Turrell Skyspace\, “Above Horizon.” During this time\, the program for the new facilities grew to include a home theater\, private nightclub\, library\, offices\, dining terrace\, and lap pool. \nNicholson’s untimely death in 2015 led project architects Kristopher Conner and James Perry to form Conner & Perry Architects\, who now serve as the architect of record for the property. Conner and Perry continue to oversee construction and develop designs with the owner\, Jim Goldstein\, for the lower terrace\, home theater\, and guest house portions of project\, as well as overseeing maintenance and restoration efforts for the original residence. This property is a cultural mainstay of Los Angeles\, featured in many motion pictures\, fashion\, and editorial photography\, and has been bequeathed to LACMA by Goldstein so that it may remain accessible to the public to inspire future generations of designers and enthusiasts. \nRead more about the residence and Conner & Perry Architects’ contribution in the recent Architect’s Newspaper story (here). \nBuilding Credits: \nCurrent Architect: Conner & Perry Architects\, Inc.\nPast Architect: Nicholson Architects\nOriginal Architect: Lautner Associates (John Lautner\, FAIA)\nClient/Homeowner: James F.

SUMMARY:Century Villages at Cabrillo
DESCRIPTION:Photography Credit: Nahid LaCiura \nArchitecture Firm: The Architects Collective \nFull Credit List Below \nTOUR DETAILS\n“Homes are the cornerstone of a thriving and just society.” \nAIA Los Angeles & AIA Long Beach / South Bay are very pleased to introduce our communities to Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC): an inspiring and beautifully planned community designed to provide quality affordable housing and onsite supportive services. \nLocated in Long Beach\, CA\, Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC) sits on 27 acres and is home to over 2\,000 residents on any given night\, including veterans\, families\, and individuals with special needs. CVC offers both permanent and transitional housing\, complemented by a network of services and amenities with a range of collaborators. \nEstablished in 1997\, CVC transformed a former Naval housing base near the Port of Long Beach into a thriving community. By bringing together service providers\, many of whom operate directly onsite\, CVC leverages a collective-impact approach to break the cycle of homelessness for its residents. (Collective impact is a framework where organizations from different sectors work together towards a common goal.) Nearly every resident in permanent housing at CVC maintained their housing after one year—a testament to its success. \nAs the backbone organization\, CVC serves as the steward\, manager\, and coordinator of the Villages community. CVC is a nonprofit affiliate of Century Housing\, a group dedicated to financing\, developing\, and managing quality affordable housing across California. \nClick here to learn more about Century Villages at Cabrillo. \n  \nTOUR HOSTS\n \nRichard Prantis\, AIA\, LEED AP – Founding Principal\, The Architects Collective (TAC) \nRichard Prantis is the Founding Principal of Los Angeles-based The Architects Collective (TAC). Inspired by a mission to enrich lives through the practice of architecture\, Richard’s work is focused on affordable housing in an effort to bring excellent design to those in need. Richard is concerned with the design of space and how it is experienced; indeed\, architecture can evoke a sense of engagement\, beauty\, joy\, dignity and security. Richard applies to the practice over 30 years of experience inarchitectural design\, construction detailing and construction observation\, providing insight and leadership on all TAC projects.  Drawing inspiration from the regional context\, Richard leads the analysis and design of buildings that integrate the honest expression of building materials\, energy-efficient building design and connection to the outdoors. Richard has served on various AIA|LA committees focused on the intersection of public policy\, design and homelessness and regularly lends his expertise to juries at architectural design programs throughout southern California. Whether traveling locally or internationally\, Richard enjoys full immersion into a culture\, observing urban form\, public realm\, housing typologies\, lifestyle\, history\, art and music. \n \nKimberly Wee – Executive Director\, Century Villages at Cabrillo (CVC) \nAs Executive Director of Century Villages at Cabrillo and Vice President of Residential Services\, Ms. Wee oversees the services offered to residents in Century’s supportive housing developments. Ms. Wee has more than two decades of program development and contracts experience\, which enables her to oversee Century’s intensive case management county contract\, develop and evaluate programming for adults and youth\, as well as support the larger backbone role that Century Villages at Cabrillo plays within the community. She supports a dedicated team of case managers and clinical staff that serve formerly homeless veterans\, youth\, and families. At the Villages at Cabrillo\, she has worked collaboratively to strengthen and expand the community resulting in thousands of lives being transformed. \n\nMs. Wee began her work in social services and as an advocate for women in Connecticut more than 20 years ago. She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Psychology at Central Connecticut State University. As an undergrad\, she worked in the Women’s Center and the Counseling Center where she first began her work as a certified domestic violence counselor and sexual assault advocate. Her work as an undergrad led to being offered a prestigious graduate fellowship to study substance abuse and sexual assault on college campuses throughout the state. \nIn 1998\, she relocated to California where she began working at a domestic violence shelter in Orange County which led to her career path in the field and to Long Beach.

SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: The Sheats-Goldstein Residence and Club James (2026) - Tour 2
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Jeff Green Photography \nARCH TOUR FEST: The Goldstein Estate – Tour 2 @ 12:30 pm\n(aka The Sheats-Goldstein Residence and Club James)\nInformation regarding the tour will be emailed directly to registrants 24 hours before the event. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTour Led by:\n \nKristopher Conner\, AIA\, NCARB\, and James Perry\, NCARB\, of Conner & Perry Architects\, Inc. \nTour Organizers:\nConner & Perry Architects\, Inc.\nThe Goldstein Estate is home to the iconic Sheats-Goldstein Residence (1963) by John Lautner. Originally constructed for the Sheats family in the early 1960’s\, the house was purchased by James Goldstein in 1972 and he enlisted Lautner to embark on a series of renovations and improvements to “perfect” the home\, until the architect’s passing in 1994. At that time there were schematic designs in place for adjacent entertainment facilities\, including a tennis court\, guest house\, and garage/maid’s quarters. Lautner protege\, Duncan Nicholson\, took over the renovations to the home and continued to develop the designs for the entertainment facilities as well as the construction of the James Turrell Skyspace\, “Above Horizon.” During this time\, the program for the new facilities grew to include a home theater\, private nightclub\, library\, offices\, dining terrace\, and lap pool. \nNicholson’s untimely death in 2015 led project architects Kristopher Conner and James Perry to form Conner & Perry Architects\, who now serve as the architect of record for the property. Conner and Perry continue to oversee construction and develop designs with the owner\, Jim Goldstein\, for the lower terrace\, home theater\, and guest house portions of project\, as well as overseeing maintenance and restoration efforts for the original residence. This property is a cultural mainstay of Los Angeles\, featured in many motion pictures\, fashion\, and editorial photography\, and has been bequeathed to LACMA by Goldstein so that it may remain accessible to the public to inspire future generations of designers and enthusiasts. \nRead more about the residence and Conner & Perry Architects’ contribution in the recent Architect’s Newspaper story (here). \nBuilding Credits: \nCurrent Architect: Conner & Perry Architects\, Inc.\nPast Architect: Nicholson Architects\nOriginal Architect: Lautner Associates (John Lautner\, FAIA)\nClient/Homeowner: James F.

SUMMARY:AIA|LA Presents....Q&A Roundtable with Mayoral Candidate Nithya Raman
DESCRIPTION:AIA|LA Presents….\nQ&A Roundtable with Mayoral Candidate Nithya Raman\nThe next Mayor of Los Angeles will inherit a city at a crossroads — facing a housing crisis\, a broken permitting system\, fiscal pressures\, and an urgent need for climate-resilient design leadership. Your voice as an architect and design professional matters in this election.  That’s why AIA|LA is bringing the candidates directly to you. \nAs part of our ongoing civic engagement initiative\, AIA|LA is working to host candid Q&A roundtables with each of the top five leading mayoral candidates. We are pleased to confirm that Council Member Nithya Raman will be our first guest. Outreach to the remaining candidates is actively underway\, and we look forward to announcing additional dates as confirmations are received. \n*Please note: AIA|LA has not made an official mayoral endorsement. These sessions are nonpartisan forums designed to inform our membership and advance the policy priorities that matter most to our profession and our city.* \nWhat We’ll Be Talking About \nThis isn’t a campaign event — it’s a professional conversation. AIA|LA’s recent advocacy work has identified a clear set of policy challenges where mayoral leadership will be decisive. Come ready to ask questions and engage directly on topics including: \nDevelopment Services & Permitting Reform\nLA’s permitting system remains one of the most significant barriers to housing production and project viability. We’ll ask: What concrete steps will the next Mayor take to modernize the process — from online permitting to unified case management — and hold the Department of Building and Safety and Planning Department accountable for performance? \nCity Budget Priorities\nYears of underfunding have hollowed out the very departments architects depend on. We’ll explore: How will the next Mayor prioritize restoring and expanding resources for planning and development services\, even amid fiscal constraints? \nCharter Reform & Governance\nStructural reform may be the key to unlocking a more functional\, design-forward city. We’ll discuss: Does the candidate support charter-level changes that reduce bureaucratic redundancy and give planning and design departments greater independence and authority? \nChief Design Officer\nAIA|LA has long championed the creation of a Chief Design Officer for the City of Los Angeles. We’ll ask: Do they support this role — and how would they use design leadership to elevate public spaces\, civic architecture\, and infrastructure quality citywide? \nHousing\, Density & Missing Middle\nArchitects are essential partners in solving LA’s housing crisis. We’ll explore the candidate’s vision for transit-oriented development\, design-forward density\, and the role of the profession in delivering more — and better — housing. \nClimate Resilience & Sustainability\nFrom green building standards to climate adaptation in the built environment\, we’ll ask: How will their administration embed sustainability into city planning\, permitting incentives\, and public infrastructure investment? \nPublic Space & Civic Design Excellence\nParks\, libraries\, streetscapes\, civic buildings — how does the candidate envision LA’s public realm\, and what standards will they set for design quality in publicly funded projects? \n— \nThis is your opportunity to hear directly from a leading candidate\, ask hard questions\, and make your expertise heard at the highest level of city governance. \nWe look forward to seeing you on May 18th — and to many more conversations with the candidates ahead. \n  \n \n  \nNithya Raman – Councilmember\, District #4\, City of Los Angeles & LA Mayoral Candidate\nNithya Raman is an urban planner\, a graduate of Harvard and MIT\, a working mother\, an immigrant to America\, and a member of the Los Angeles City Council representing District 4. \nAfter serving several years as the Co-Chair of the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Homelessness Committee\, as well as co-founding the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition\, Nithya felt there was a gap between city services and the expanding homelessness crisis – a gap she was equipped to fill. \nShe ran for City Council in 2020 and won a historic victory\, becoming the first Asian-American woman and the first South Asian ever to serve on the City Council. In March 2024\, she was decisively elected to a second term. \nSince taking office\, Councilmember Raman has prioritized delivering compassionate and effective services for people experiencing homelessness\, building more affordable housing\, and moving with greater urgency to meet our city’s climate goals. \nShe has built a dedicated team that takes a proactive approach to constituent services\, ensuring her office both responds to incoming requests and goes out in the field to meet people where they are\, informing them about renter protections\, neighborhood upgrades\, community initiatives\, fire safety\, and more. \nCouncilmember Raman serves as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee\, Vice Chair of the Rules\, Elections\, and Intergovernmental Relations Committee\, and member of the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee\, Energy and Environment Committee\, and the newly formed Ad Hoc Committee on Unarmed Crisis Prevention\, Intervention\, and Community Services. \nCouncilmember Raman also represents Los Angeles on the Governing Board of the South Coast Air Quality Management District and serves on the Board of the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA). In 2024\, she was nominated by Mayor Karen Bass to serve as Vice Chair on the LA County Executive Committee for Regional Homeless Alignment. \nNithya lives in Silver Lake with her husband\, Vali Chandrasekaran\, and her young twins\, Karna and Kaveri. \nTo read more about Mayoral Candidate Nithya Raman\, PLEASE CLICK HERE. \n
