Fifth Ecology: Los Angeles Beyond Desire

While in Stockholm this summer, I learned about this project and picked up a copy of The Fifth Ecology: Los Angeles Beyond Desire. The project is a proposal for the LA River and experiencing Los Angeles without focus on consumption. The students who worked on the project are visiting LA - you have a few opportunities to hear their presentation and see their work over the next week.
