LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries Turn Museums Into Moving Landscapes
TL;DR Summary
LACMA opens the $724 million David Geffen Galleries, a Peter Zumthor–designed, sinuous, floor-spanning structure that abandons traditional galleries for a self-guided, continuous interior and a landscape-embracing exterior; intended to fuse art, light and city context while aiming for LEED Gold and solar power, it has sparked praise for its atmosphere and ambition and critique for rough textures, sound behavior, and unfinished public spaces as the city’s cultural landscape shifts toward bolder risk.
