ACADEMY MUSEUM OF MOTION PICTURES
-
This project is currently under development in the area of the museum’s campus known as Lacma West: the creation of the Academy Museum of Motion Picture will redevelop the existing 1938 May Company Department Store building.
The building's additions to the north side - dated 1946 - will be removed and replaced with a ‘bubble’, a 1000-seat theatre and a terrace with views towards Hollywood.
A dialogue between the existing building (‘gravitas’) and the new extension (‘levitas’) will emerge and with it, a discourse between shadow and light, heaviness and weightlessness.
