Our Los Angeles center works to develop and encourage new ideas for a changing world and to propose practical thinking that can transform society—and humanity—for the better. Located on the Pacific coast, we hope to advance the position of Los Angeles as a world center for ideas, linking the East to the West. The historic Bradbury Building, houses the BI’s research activities and is a unique gathering space for intellectual exchange, academic symposia, workshops, salons, and lectures.
