CurbedWire: Don't Work So Hard in Echo Park, A + D Museum Talk

ECHO PARK: While someone wants construction workers to take a break, work continues on these two buildings (on either side of the sign) on Alessandro Street near Glendale Boulevard. Fairly certain these are multi-unit residential buildings, although a construction worker at the lighter-colored building told us: "I don't know what it is, I think it's a bank." Does anyone tell construction workers what they are building? [Curbed Staff]

MIRACLE MILE: The head of real estate firms Deasy/Penner & Partners and Value of Architecture will join the folks from Dwell and the A+D Museum to talk about all things design this Thursday night at the A+D Museum on Wilshire Boulevard. The chat is considered a preview discussion for the Dwell on Design conference, which'll be held later this year. [Curbed InBox]
