LA CRESCENTA, Calif.,—The Educational Committee of the Armenian Apostolic Church of Crescenta Valley will host an Armenian lecture on urban transformation. The presentation, titled “Urban Transformation of Yerevan: The Journey from a Provincial Village to a Capital City,” will be led by architects, Dr. Marco Brambilla and Dr. Andreh Marouti. The lecture will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 9, immediately after the conclusion of Divine Liturgy. It will be held at the Prelacy “Dikran and Zarouhie Der Ghazarian” Hall, located at 6250 Honolulu Ave, La Crescenta, California 91214.
