Award-winning LA architect Michael Maltzan, says architects in LA have been doing their bit in tackling homelessness, city sprawl, housing affordability and building faster and better housing by designing ways to connect buildings with host communities. He is in New Zealand later this month for the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects conference.
