#273/Shoring Up Paul Williams: Architect Scott Kelsey + Musical Guest John Armato

Sometimes even the best design needs a little help, particularly when Mother Nature is having a bad day. Her earthquakes, for example, do not care whether your building is Modernist. Her monsoons are not impressed with how famous the architect was, even if he was Paul R. Williams. One of California's most well-known architects, Williams' buildings get more famous year by year. There are two in Los Angeles at UCLA that have been recently restored and shored up for such ominous natural events, and joining us is the architect for those University projects, Scott Kelsey of CO Architects. After that, jazz with musical guest John Armato, the drummer who loves ballads.
