FIVE PLACES L.A.
by Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design, Emmanuelle Bourlier
FIVE PLACES L.A. is a living documentary of the city. In each episode we ask one inhabitant of Los Angeles about the five places that define the city for them. Each interviewee in turn chooses someone to interview about their five places. Through these interviews and plus-ones the project grows; as the city evolves, its past and present, real and remembered places are mapped.
