FOUND: 1/4 Mile-o-Pie

I LOVE THAT MY DAD'S SCHOOL IS DOING SOMETHING SO FESTIVE! AND SO TASTY!
imageStudents led by faculty members Alexis Rochas and Darin Johnstone at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) will design and build a Thanksgiving table that will stretch as long as LA City Hall is tall for a celebration of the holiday, of architecture and the community. A festive event dubbed Thanksgiving Pie Shuffle will be hosted at SCI-Arc on Wednesday, November 24, at noon, when the giant table will be set with 500 individual pies for the school’s students, faculty, staff and guests to share with family and friends or donate to the Midnight Mission.
“There’s no project too simple we can’t make more complicated,” said SCI-Arc distinguished faculty member and founding student Michael Rotondi announcing the plan to build the ultra-long table.

This is the second year the event is held at the school housed in a former Downtown LA freight depot—which is itself a quarter-mile long. The Thanksgiving Pie Shuffle is presented by SCI-Arc director Eric Owen Moss and the leadership of the school. Graduate Programs Chair Hernan Diaz Alonso will address students, faculty and guests in the opening of the event.
