Postcard from Los Angeles: ‘Design for the People’ at 2023 Los Angeles Design Festival
“Launched in 2011, the festival started as a small event but is now a series of several events, with the main happenings taking place in the Helms Bakery District in West LA and Long Beach’s Design District. In Long Beach, many creatives—including Demar Matthews, an LA–based architectural designer, writer, and principal of OffTop Design; and Kevin Sherrod, arts and culture Leader at Gensler in LA—were hosted by Studio One Eleven, a local architecture studio in Long Beach that believes in repairing existing cities. “Build it up, don’t tear it down” is the team’s motto, according to a statement on their website.” – Cezar Grief of Architect Magazine
