Archinect Outpost has hosted a plethora of events in its short eight months of operation, each of which has brought the Los Angeles community together to celebrate exciting new publications and design items. We are proud to announce that we have several more to come, from various disciplines and regions.

The Architecture of Closed Worlds; Or, What is the Power of Shit? (hosting Lydia Kallipoliti) / March 6, 7-9 PM

What do outer space capsules, submarines, and office buildings have in common? Each is conceived as a closed system: a self-sustaining physical environment demarcated from its surroundings by a boundary that does not allow for the transfer of matter or energy. Written by Lydia Kallipoliti and published by Lars Müller Publishers and Storefront for Art and Architecture, the book surveys 37 brilliant and unusual prototypes for self-sustaining physical environments, including those from Buckminster Fuller, Jacques Cousteau, and Walt Disney.

Swimming to Suburbia and other essays (hosting Craig Hodgetts and Todd Gannon) / March 16

Widely known for his award-winning design work, the Los Angeles-based architect Craig Hodgetts has distinguished himself as one of the key voices of his generation through trenchant commentary and visionary speculation on architecture and design. This volume gathers an array of theoretical polemics on buildings and cities, critical assessments of major projects and personalities, and other writings that showcase Hodgetts' unique position as both a central figure in the discipline of architecture and a tireless advocate of technological opportunities developed at the fringes of the field.
