Los Angeles Adds Two Curved Landmarks to Its Skyline

The Lucas Museum and LACMA's David Geffen Galleries are bringing rounded, sculptural forms to a city long defined by flatter, more angular architecture. Both buildings are being described as more than striking shapes set down in the landscape — each is meant to change how visitors move through and experience the grounds around it. Together they mark a shift in how Los Angeles's civic institutions are choosing to build.
