Competition Brief
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is the largest encyclopedic museum west of the Mississippi with 350,000 sf of built interior space in its four core buildings, on 6 acres of land. LACMA is about to enter a major construction project: the four existing buildings on the east campus (the Ahmanson, Hammer, and Arts of the Americas Buildings, and the Bing Center) will be demolished and replaced by one new building. After carefully analyzing publicly available documents about the new building, we believe the design to be deeply flawed and dysfunctional. We are inviting you to submit ideas for an alternative LACMA Building for the Permanent Collections, one that would expand gallery space, rather than shrink it, one that will actually offer a home for the collections as well as all services needed to showcase and care for the collections.
This idea competition is inviting you to propose ideas that show solutions that are smart, functional, inspiring and exiting. We invite you to formulate ideas in a quick charrette to show alternatives that inspire and show a way forward for a LACMA that is improved and fresh, not reduced and compromised.
There are two basic approaches one could take. Both are welcome.
A) Working with all or some of the existing buildings
The existing buildings, three constructed in the 1970s, one in the 1980s, all badly neglected and in need of seismic upgrades, would be remodeled, upgraded and updated. The existing gallery spaces have a wide variety of exhibition spaces, well suited to show different kinds of art. The outsides of the buildings are beloved by very few. If you chose to go with the more sustainable option to reuse the existing, how would you reframe and expand the originals? The square footage of the existing buildings is about 350,000 sf. They could be expanded to about 500,000 sf to accommodate collections that have grown since the museum built the Arts of the Americas building over three decades ago.
B) Starting from scratch.
In this proposal, you would demolish the 4 buildings actually planned to be demolished and build a new building in its place.
Context
The background material for the competition will include pertinent information on the current LACMA campus, including two buildings designed by Renzo Piano over the last 15 years on LACMA’s West Campus, and another designed by the New York Firm, Weiss/Manfredi, who won a recent competition for the adjacent Page Museum of Natural History.
This is an idea competition organized by The Citizens’ Brigade to Save LACMA. We are not affiliated with LACMA or Museum Associates, which runs LACMA. We believe it is important to publicly display ideas that could truly capture people’s eyes, hearts and minds, in order to reset the museum’s architectural path and keep LACMA intact and thriving as an encyclopedic museum. It is our hope that new designs will showcase the collections in a practical and architecturally stimulating environment that will itself be a work of art, the largest in LACMA’s collection. A Jury of Architecture and Museum professionals will Judge the entries.
