Dezeen Promotion: NeueHouse is hosting a series of conversations with prominent members of LA's creative community, including philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen, architect Kulapat Yantrasast, author Josh Kun and futurist Liam Young, to mark the opening of its latest location in Downtown Los Angeles.
This month Neuehouse will open a new workspace within the city's iconic Bradbury Building. It will have collaborative creative spaces and private studios, with an atrium and cocktail bar that will play host to a programme of workshops, Q&As and talks.
This programme is being kicked off with the LA Futures conversations series. Over the course of three salon-style conversations the series will explore the role of architecture and technology in the development of the city, and ask why we must look to the past to create a vision for the future.
The first conversation, which took place at the start of December, saw Kulapat Yantrasast, the director of architecture firm wHY, speak to MacArthur Fellow and University of Southern California professor Josh Kun about the significance of the Bradbury Building.
The Bradbury building is one of LA's oldest landmarked building, with an unassuming red brick facade that gives way to a bright central atrium with circular stairwells and wrought iron elevators.

Since it opened in 1893, its distinctive, art nouveau features have graced more than 83 films and TV shows, most notably Citizen Kane, Chinatown and the original Blade Runner.
