    Join us for a Case Study on one of Los Angeles’ most innovative projects - Gardenhouse. Gardenhouse is the first US project of MAD Architects, Dezeen Awards' 2020 Architect of the Year, and the firm behind the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art taking shape in Exposition Park. Not only is the typology of Gardenhouse highly unusual, but the project sports one of the largest living walls in the US. 

     

    Our panel will walk us through the entire process, from site acquisition to design to marketing.
