In our March installment to FFFRIDAYS blog, we explored the architectural and urban developments of Glassell Park with Guest Writer, Maryam Hosseinzadeh, through an audio visual walk around her neighborhood.

A great example of what kind architecture and history one can find just walking around. Thanks to Maryam Hosseinzadeh for sharing her findings and unique perspective with us!

FfF PRESENTS: TRACES, a new series exploring the history of a place through the stories of the people.

“TRACES” is a web series that features the history of a place as told by the stories of the people who were there. The architecture throughout Los Angeles is fascinating for the juxtaposed layers of time you can find on one block. It’s not uncommon to find the 1960s, on top of 1918, right next to 2011. Imagine a local elder telling you what she remembers happening in a place she once knew. TRACES takes a deeper look into places in Los Angeles, exploring the stories of what they were then to what they are now.

TRACES No. 1 goes back to 1982 with a story about the “Youth Break Center, Inc./Radiotron” as told by founding director and Macarthur Park local, Carmelo Alvarez.

In Japanese, ma, the word for space, suggests interval. It is best described as a consciousness of place, not in the sense of an enclosed three-dimensional entity, but rather the simultaneous awareness of form and non-form deriving from an intensification of vision.

Discoveries made about the structure of space and time always react on the structure of the mind. Other kinds of discovery enrich human knowledge without affecting its basis. However, anything to do with conceptions of space will suggest very different ways of constructing knowledge.
