A singular voice in the exploration of progressive architecture and design, A+D (Architecture and Design
Museum Los Angeles) has always challenged our approach to living. So, it only fits that this museum has
chosen the Arts District; a hotbed of the west coast
creative energy and thought, as its new home. The inaugural exhibition, Shelter: Rethinking how we live in
Los Angeles, is not only an extremely timely topic but
a wonderful showcase for the flexibility of the place.
The show features architect and designer’s residential
solutions in response to Los Angeles’ unique economic, geographic and environmental challenges. A collection of moveable walls and pedestals allow the visitor
to examine a series of images and models closely and
will facilitate a singular look for future shows. Clearly a
lot of thoughts went into how to utilize best this unassuming bow and truss warehouse space, because once
inside, one feels as this has always been here. And
stranger than fiction, there is limited, free, off-street
parking.
