What Is Skills Club:

Skills Club is a series of events devoted to a deeper understanding of the fundamental building trades in Los Angeles commercial construction, and how to most efficiently and effectively incorporate them into your projects.

About:

We are excited to invite you to our first ever Skills Club evening hosted at our Pasadena offices with Applied Plastering & Texston.

As a General Contractor, we often encounter mismatched expectations between the desired design and what is achievable in the field for a project's schedule and budget parameters.

Skills Club is an attempt to bridge these expectation gaps by focusing on one core trade at a time, while addressing common issues that arise. Each interactive and informative evening will feature discussions with our trusted subcontractors and industry experts, delivering tangible and actionable takeaways.

Come explore the incredible history of Venice Beach on foot!

Participants will learn about the history and development of the Venice, CA area and how this history has shaped the current urban form of the area. We will visit and discuss notable examples from architectural history – specifically the residential work of Frank Gehry from the 70s and 80s – and how the design and planning of those projects influenced architectural practice in Los Angeles. We will also explore various recreational spaces and public art projects and discuss the role of recreation amenities and public art in shaping the urban environment and community.

Participants will also learn about current urban design issues relating to the development of housing and homelessness in Venice and the various political forces and initiatives (ED1) that shape design outcomes in this area.

Meet at Windward Circle!

Is there any better reason to throw a party than working hard and making something beautiful and then having that beautiful thing be recognized in the New York Times?
