Originally conceived under a TEDx West Hollywood license as inspiration to change our fundamental value system to where mutual concern, as one humanity becomes our new worldview, a daylong program ultimately was presented under the auspice of Suzanne Taylor's Mighty Companions non-profit foundation. If you like what you see, please tell Chris@TED.com to help him understand the inappropriateness of TED's last-minute license cancellation for this uplifting program.

Jim Favaro established his practice with Steve Johnson in 1988 in Culver City, CA, with the intention to focus on areas where he believes architecture matters most: schools, libraries, civic institutions, and community centers. This work includes the West Hollywood Library, the original venue for our event, plus libraries for the cities of Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach, as well as scores of campus plans and buildings for schools and colleges across Southern California. Jim received his Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Fine Art at Stanford University and his Masters in Architecture at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. He was a recipient of the Rome Prize, one of two architects a year to receive a fellowship and residency at the American Academy in Rome. His practice in Culver City continues to focus on work dedicated to the cultivation of the public realm.
