Third stop : Bonaventure Adventure @ Westin Bonaventure.
Walking tour with Dan Koeppel of The Big Parade through the LA City Planner Calvin Hamilton’s 1970’s ‘Pedway’ plan for Downtown LA, connecting nodes of downtown through public pedestrian walkways, lifted above vehicular streets. The center of his ‘pedway’ plan - the Bonaventure Hotel.

“Participants in the event will walk interiors, exteriors, fly-aways and walkways of the seemingly unnavigable spaces of this landmark structure of Post-Modernism that is referred to by political geographer and urban planner Ed Soja as the epitome of getting lost . At the juncture of public and private urban spaces and within BROODWORK’s exploration of Time, BONAVENTURE ADVENTURE takes the time to rediscover and reclaim the very idea of getting lost.”
