    LA's Relationship to the Land

    Los Angeles is known as much for its glorious landscape as for its obliteration of it. Frances Anderton speaks with designer Fritz Haeg about an unusual program of installations and talks at Art Center in Pasadena. Photographer Erica Lennard has details on this weekend's tour of Hollywood's most sumptuous and widely inventive gardens. Finally, a conversation with LA-based architect George Yu, who's rethinking of the suburban mall as he prepares to represent the US at the Venice Architecture Biennale, a prestigious international exhibition of architecture.
