Q+A: KERRY BROUGHER

摘要

The proposed museum building for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been met with mixed reactions and some controversy. Renzo Piano, Hon. FAIA, of Genoa, Italy-based Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Zoltan Pali, FAIA, of Culver City, Calif.-based Studio Pali Fekete Architects drew up the original plans for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, but Pali left the project in May and Gensler was brought on. The project will renovate the 1939 May Co. building, designed by Albert Martin and Samuel Marx, on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) Wilshire Boulevard campus. The museum's director, Kerry Brougher, joined the project from the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., where he was chief curator and acting director, architect sat down with Brougher shortly after he assumed his new position.
