The Taiwan Academy in Los Angeles will host a conversation between renowned architect Jimenez Lai and children's fantasy author Henry Lien entitled Imagined Cities: Innovative Uses of Architecture in Film and Literature at its gallery in Westwood on Saturday, June 2, 2018 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The conversation is in connection with the Taiwan Academy's current exhibition Rooftops & Backyards: Expanding Taipei & L.A., which explores the construction of "architecture on top of architecture", and multi-purpose use of properties as ways that cities deal with the issue of limited space in densely populated urban areas. The Imagined Cities event explores such themes in fictional depictions of cities.
