A+D museum finds new home

FOR the fourth time in its five years, the A+D Architecture and Design Museum> Los Angeles has a new home. This one is opposite LACMA.

The address is 5900 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 100E -- the space once occupied by the Carole and Barry Kaye Museum of Miniatures, whose collection has moved to Florida.

Through Aug. 18, the new space is showcasing “New Blood: Next Gen,” a collection of designs from 39 emerging architects, landscape architects and designers working in Los Angeles. The participants include Frank Escher, Ravi GuneWardena, Antoine Predock, John Frane, Patrick Tighe and Hernan Diaz Alonso.

“This will be a long-term residency,” says Tibbie Dunbar, director of the museum since 2005. She says a show of designs by Getty Center architect Richard Meier and partners is in the works for fall.

The museum’s previous homes have included, in order, the portico space in the Bradbury Building downtown; a Sunset Boulevard address in a West Hollywood space; and a location on Broadway in Santa Monica. More information is available at www.aplusd.org.
