This episode features Elizabeth Timme, founder and co-executive director of LA-Más with Helen Leung. LA-Más is a non-profit urban design organization that helps lower-income and underserved communities shape their future through policy and architecture. During this episode, Elizabeth talks about LA-Más, and some of the exciting work they are doing in our city. Elizabeth and Helen were just named Emerging Voices by the Architectural League of New York, and Elizabeth is also part of the Re:Code LA team. Elizabeth is a graduate of USC School of Architecture and Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, and comes from a rich background immersed in architecture as daughter of the late Robert Timme, who was the dean of USC’s School of Architecture. Elizabeth talks about what it’s like to be a female third-generation architect, and her journey to LA-Más. We discuss some of LA-Más’ projects including work on backyard houses, or ADUs. I admire Elizabeth’s conviction, openness, and intellect. I love that she does not accept things for how they are, and challenges what they could be.
