As LA County works to find sustainable solutions to the humanitarian crisis of homelessness, the role of the Arts Commission has been to catalyze the community of architects, designers, planners, and creative strategists to reimagine the potential of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) as a housing typology that works in conjunction with other strategies to help alleviate LA County’s housing pressure.

A panel discussion on the topics of innovative solutions to building ADUs, present building codes, current designs as well as engineering and construction best practices. Facilitated by the Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design
