"Lorcan O’Herlihy, FAIA, Founding Principal, Creative Director of LOHA, seeks opportunities to engage with the ever-changing complexities of the urban landscape, while embracing architecture as a catalyst of change. Since founding his firm in 1994, his work has been guided by a conscious understanding that architecture operates within a layered context of political, developmental, environmental, and social structures. With offices in Los Angeles and Detroit, his firm has built over one hundred projects across three continents. The diverse work ranges from art galleries, bus shelters, and large-scale neighborhood studies, to large mixed-use developments, affordable housing projects, and university residential complexes. Each project exhibits Lorcan’s belief that artistry and social connectivity are key to building vibrant spaces that elevate the human condition."
"Greg Goldin is the author most recently of "An Atlas of Never Built Architecture.". He was born and raised in Los Angeles, living at first in suburbia, next in the geographic center of the city in a neighborhood with two early Schindler houses and Gregory Ain's Dunsmuir Apartments. Those buildings inspired his interest in architecture. After many years as a political reporter, he jumped ship and became the Architecture Critic at Los Angeles Magazine, a twelve-year stint that led to the book Never Built Los Angeles (Metropolis Books, 2013) and the exhibition Never Built Los Angeles, which premiered at the A+D Architecture and Design Museum, Los Angeles, in July 2013. He was the recipient of a coveted Getty Research Institute grant for Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A. in 2011. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter, where he continues to unearth untold architectural tales and unbuilt architectural projects."
