Departures is KCET's hyper-local web documentary, community engagement tool and digital literacy program about the cultural history of Los Angeles' neighborhoods.
Lorcan O'Herlihy - Architect
Architect Lorcan O'Herlihy is intensely preoccupied with the idea that proper planning and density management can solve environmental issues in Venice and beyond. It is no surprise that his house off Pacific Avenue is situated in one of the most congested streets in the district. Most likely chosen based on the principle that to solve issues of urban sprawl, architects must embrace constraints in creative ways, he says, often changing years of tradition in the process.
