From the mid-1980s through the 2010s, socially conscious developers Frederick and Laurie Samitaur Smith collaborated with noted architect Eric Owen Moss to effect progressive social action through redevelopment, art, architecture and economic revitalization. Over a thirty year period, the Smiths acquired various properties within Culver City’s light-industrial Hayden Tract and engaged Moss in an iterative experiment in planning. The result is a unique district of architecturally experimental buildings, and the Hayden Tract has become the go-to location for creative industries, artists and media companies. This half-day walking tour is preceded by an introductory lecture, then travel by light rail and a brochure-enabled self-guided exploration of more than twenty buildings grounded in a presentation by the architects.

Resources associated with late 20th century socio-cultural movements such as women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, Chicano rights, and immigrant communities in Southern California are often not much to look at and make hard sells as local, state, or national landmarks. Community-based organizations often repurposed older industrial and commercial buildings constructed long before the cultural heritage period of significance, making them difficult to identify via windshield surveys. This day-long bus and walking tour will visit several protected and endangered resources and discuss the challenges and opportunities with the experts who advocate for them.
