Los Angeles County

Museum of Art

Los Angeles County Museum of Art desired to create a screen to shroud the large cooling towers on top of the Ahmanson building, which would then also serve as a visual focal point in the rehabilitation of Hancock Park. A structure was devised that would both serve as a beacon light source as well as signage for the museum. The steel frame attaches to the existing roof and is covered with a polycarbonate panel system that can be backlit at night, becoming a highly visible element from the park's new northern entry points.
