The Effects and Experience of Shiatsu: A Cross-European Study. Final Report

View within the entry pavilion; In 1965, the museum moved to a new Wilshire Boulevard complex as an independent, art-focused institution, the largest new museum to be built in the United States after the National Gallery of Art. The museum was built in a style similar to Lincoln Center and consisted of three buildings: the Ahmanson Building, the Bing Center, and the Lytton Gallery (renamed the Frances and Armand Hammer Building in 1968). The board selected LA architect William Pereira over the directors' recommendation of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the buildings. The museum hired the architectural firm of Hardy, Holzman, Pfeiffer Associates to design its Robert O. Anderson Building, which opened in 1986 (renamed the Art of the Americas Building in 2007). The museum's Pavilion for Japanese Art, designed by maverick architect Bruce Goff, opened in 1988. In 1994, LACMA purchased the adjacent May Department Stores building, an impressive example of streamline moderne architecture designed by Albert C. Martin Sr. LACMA West increased the museum's size by 30 percent when the building opened in 1998. In 2004, LACMA’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved plans to transform the museum, led by architect Renzo Piano. The transformation consists of three phases. Phase I started in 2004 and was completed in February 2008. Phase III is scheduled to be completed toward the end of 2010.

View into the central pavilion, showing terrace and upper balcony; Experiences gained from incorporating found materials in the residential and recreational facilities that he designed for the armed forces in the Aleutian Islands, due to wartime shortages of conventional building materials, continued to shape his post-war work. In other designs of this period Goff exploited more regular geometries, but still with unique results that were partly dependent on his continued exploration of unlikely materials. Examples include the Ford house (1947-1950), Aurora, IL, whose intersecting partial domes are made of Quonset hut components supported on base walls of coal, and the Wilson house (1950-1953), Pensacola, FL, composed of pipe-framed interlocking cubes.
