Ever wondered how to build a cool house in a hot desert? Or seen prefab housing that works like a beehive? Or what about planting shrubs for minimalist gardens? Well all this and more is to be discovered this weekend down at the LA Convention Centre.
 

 

 

The Dwell on Design show is now in its third exciting year. The event is organized by Dwell Magazine and is a mix of expo, seminar, events and tours. As with the magazine itself, it is heavily focused on sustainable and cool designs and objects, which is why we like it so much!!
 
As well as the 200 exhibitors , who include professionals from the fields of architecture, lighting design, gardening, domestic appliance retailing and car manufacture, there will be an entire neighbourhood of full-scale, pre-fab, sustainable structures completely landscaped and furnished by Dwell!
 
Visitors can also learn how to green their own home and work with architects and designers. Throughout the show, the Design Innovation Theatre will present talks and demonstrations on all things design.
 
There will also be off-site events, like the private home tours. On Sunday the “Downtown Urban Living tour ” has caught our eye and will show the best of adaptive reuse and new multi-family buildings. "Downtown Los Angeles is booming with residential projects ranging from new construction to the adaptive re-use of older buildings", we are told. "This tour will feature some unique residences in the re-awakened downtown".
