Hosted at Metabolic Studio and presented by LA Forum for Architecture and Urban Design, the conference brought together architects, artists, theorists, and activists to interrogate how reparative practices in architecture and spatial design, particularly in response to ecological challenges. It brings together historical and reflective perspectives on how architectural and spatial responses can adapt to the consequences of environmental issues, including wildfires. The conference explores new systems, tools, practices, and ethical considerations needed for rebuilding and adapting to changing environments
