This is a simple and straight forward class on readings on architecture.
The class was originally proposed in THE PUBLIC SCHOOL NYC and scheduled bi-weekly starting on February 28th.

This could go various ways. We could read the same text and participate discussion over skype. Or we can run completely different readings and discussions. Perhaps, we should have some kind of exchange (between LA and NYC) once in a while.
Proposed readings so far are...
"Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour
"The Death & Life of Great American Cities" by Jane Jacobs
"Towards an Architecture" by Le Corbusier and Spaces Speak
"ARE YOU LISTENING?" by Barry Blesser & Linda-Ruth Salter
Comment
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL NYC is starting this class on 28th. Is anyone interested in starting ours soon? Any suggestion on reading materials?
