Predock Frane’s Venice House is sited in Venice Beach next to the area’s original network of canals. Designed as a reductive sculptural mass, the project embraces the soft California light while carefully modifying the existing 1940’s bungalow. "Once owned by the legendary Frank Sinatra himself during his marriage to actress Mia Farrow," the listing says. "...Held within the family since Sinatra's tenure, this distinguished townhouse presents a rare opportunity for restoration and renewal in the Treadwell Farm Historic District."

What is really at the heart of their argument is that if the court upholds Grants Pass and Boise, that they are tying the hands of Grants Pass and hundreds of other towns and cities to actually act to solve and respond to homelessness. They’re just saying that a city cannot not provide shelter and then make it illegal for people to lay down and sleep. And these tickets and fines, it’s something that people have been dealing with for years in Grants Pass. And this group of local homeless people make the argument that everyone in Grants Pass who is homeless is involuntarily homeless. The City of Angels is also the city of architectural dreams.

And so in the Boise decision, that meant that someone is involuntarily homeless if there is not enough bed space for them to go to. So there’s a really broad group of people who all started pushing for the Supreme Court to take up the Grants Pass case. And they did this by filing briefs to the Supreme Court, laying out their reasoning. And it’s everyone from the liberal governor of California and many progressive liberal cities to some of the most conservative legal groups. And they disagree about their reasoning, but they all are asking the court to clarify how to interpret the Boise decision.

Hollywood Hills House by Envelope Architecture + Design

Los Angeles profoundly shaped the modernist movement, but the City of Angels holds far more than its historic legacy. From Pierre Koenig’s iconic Stahl house to the Eames House and the transformation of the Los Angeles Basin, the city has continuously sought a new aesthetic, one where progressive forms and spatial multiplicity coexist. Reacting against old styles and outdated approaches, architects have constantly reimagined the city’s built environment through experimentation and reinterpretation. The lyrics are apparently derived from his recollections as a child, and the addressee reads as if it may be one of his siblings or someone he grew up with.

And yet at the same time, none of these people had left Grants Pass. It’s a former timber town that now really relies a lot on tourists to go rafting through the river and go wine tasting in the countryside. And Robert Martin and a group of other people who are homeless in the city, they sued the city. And they claimed that the city’s laws violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

We hope you enjoy the articles and insights they bring to our platform. Yet he’s writing this as an adult who knows that this is a scene set in a somewhat distant past, one that can’t be recaptured. And it remains a track that will leave you smiling at your own childhood memories, even as you wonder why you didn’t hold on tighter to the events as they occurred. How did Madness conceive of the song using somewhat primitive recording techniques? All will be revealed, so put on your Sunday best and read on.

It just was not an issue that was talked a lot about in the community. At the southwest corner of Broadway and 3rd Street is the Bradbury Building, a reddish-brick, Renaissance-style structure built in 1893. The one-of-a-kind interior features a five-story atrium finished with glazed bricks, wrought-iron grillwork (including the cage elevator that will be familiar from the many movies filmed here). The building is open to visitors Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. Walk down Alameda Street to Temple Avenue, west to Main Street to City Hall. The landmark has been carefully restored (a post-earthquake necessity).

And they also argue they need to have flexibility in dealing actually with people who are homeless and being able to figure out using a local ordinance to try to convince someone to go to treatment, that they say they need carrots and sticks. They need to be able to use every tool that they can to be able to try to solve this problem. This is essentially the argument being repeated again and again in those briefs that you mentioned earlier, that unless the Supreme Court overturns these decisions, it’s almost impossible for these cities to get the encampments under control. So the city’s arguments turn on this narrow legal issue of whether the Eighth Amendment applies or doesn’t.

So many young couples struggling to get on the property ladder. I live in Dorset - a one-bedroom flat costs from £230,000. In Scotland, one can get a beautiful two-bed house for that price.

Built in 1928 in a quirky mix of styles, the top of the building pays homage to an ancient mausoleum. Add to that a mix of American skyscraper, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Romanesque and Byzantine design. The rotunda dome is elaborately tiled and is a "must-see" for any trip to L.A. The 27th-floor Observation Deck is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. Take a walk on the architecture side with this Downtown L.A. Itinerary, which includes some of the city's most iconic and classic buildings.

So this case is about a small town in Oregon where three homeless people sued the city after they received tickets for sleeping and camping outside. And this case is the latest case that shows this growing tension, especially in states in the West, between people who are homeless and cities who are trying to figure out what to do about this. These cities have seen a sharp increase in homeless encampments in public spaces, especially with people on sidewalks and in parks. And they’ve raised questions about public drug use and other safety issues in these spaces. Transforming an existing home to contemporary requirements while maintaining a sense of a building’s original character and intention is no mean feat. Doing all this during a pandemic is even more impressive.

I’m struck by how much this case and our conversation has been about policing homelessness rather than actually addressing the root causes of homelessness. We’re not really talking about, say, the right to shelter or the right to treatment for people who are mentally ill and sleeping on the streets as a result, which is quite a big proportion. And at the end of the day, whatever way the ruling goes, it will be about the visibility of homelessness and not the root causes. So if the standard is that a city has to have enough beds for everyone who is homeless but certain kinds of shelters or beds wouldn’t qualify, then what are the rules around that? And the second thing is that they’re asking for clarity around what “involuntarily homeless” means.

While much has changed since the wide open spaces of the 1940’s, this sunny Californian testing ground is still home to new experiments, especially in the residential sector. Built to explore modern lifestyles and morphologies, these buildings encapsulate the city’s capacity for generating new ideas. The following collection examines a few of these private properties and how the design culture of Los Angeles is shaping its contemporary urban fabric.

‘As a commission, the guesthouse was meant to spark creativity and imagination for both the husband and wife, an entrepreneur and writer, and their two young children,’ explains Byron. The guesthouse, spanning two levels and some 245 sq ft, now sits among rich foliage in a finely landscaped architectural garden. The levels, pathways and planting were designed by LA office Terremoto, which came into the site first, reimagining it with a wild and graphic garden of cacti and grasses. The small cabin-like addition was then added among this natural environment. So the city’s argument is that this just should not be an Eighth Amendment issue, that this is the wrong way to think about this case, that issues around homelessness and how a city handles it is a policy question.

While going through treatment and dating "a lot" of people, he decided to take matters into his own hands, or rather his own head, and started visualising his perfect partner. It also assumes you are not self-employed and are under pension age... Debates over homeless encampments in the United States have intensified as their number has surged. To tackle the problem, some cities have enforced bans on public camping. There are a number of ways that the justices could decide on this case. They could take a really narrow approach and just focus on Grants Pass and the arguments about those local ordinances.

Thusthere was always some sort of a commotion going on, not in a bad sense but interms of the place always being lively and ‘crowded’. “Our House” became an instant hit in the UK upon its release, topping the charts for 10 weeks in 1982. The song was praised for its upbeat melody and relatable lyrics, which resonated with listeners from all walks of life.
