Our quick summary of the last day
The last day of CA Boom 3 brought back the sunshine to our deprived LA architourists. The focus of the day was prefab and other alternative building methods, and we were not disappointed. From a butler structure that will house a single family dwelling (and is supposed to be finished at a cost of $130 a foot), to an elevated, very clean "Swiss" abode, to a beautifully restored ranch house with an ecologically-sound terraced garden behind it... then a huge loft, above the architects' office, in the architects' building, and, last but not least, two very interesting variations of a prefab building solution.
The last day was a worthy epilogue to a great overall event, with the organizers focusing on innovative and future oriented technologies, building techniques and ideas about architecture as a whole.
Thanks, do stay tuned for more in depth product features etc. in the next few days, and we look forward to next year's event!
