SCI-Arc will examine the pivotal role played by the temporary gallery held in the Venice home of architect Thom Mayne for several weeks in 1979. Each week the space showcased the work of an emerging architect or group, including Eugene Kupper, Roland Coate, Frederick Fisher, Frank Dimster, Frank Gehry, Peter de Bretteville, Morphosis (Thom Mayne and Michael Rotondi), Studio Works (Craig Hodgetts and Robert Mangurian), and Eric Owen Moss, thus becoming a crucible for contemporary architectural culture in L.A. The exhibitions were covered by architect Coy Howard’s weekly lectures at SCI-Arc and in unprecedented reviews by Los Angeles Times architecture critic John Dreyfuss.
