A Look at the Runners-Up

In May, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art selected five architects to compete for the commission to design a $200-million renovation and expansion of the museum. In November, a selection committee narrowed the field to two, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and the Paris-based Jean Nouvel. On Wednesday the full board of trustees saw all five designs for the first time, then voted unanimously for Koolhaas. The design, which calls for the elimination of nearly all existing buildings on the campus, will serve as a conceptual plan for a new LACMA design.
