This is the first monographic exhibition on A. Quincy Jones and his significant impact on the built environment of Southern California.  The Hammer explores a range of Jones’s projects, from his acclaimed residential designs to his serious consideration of the iconic postwar tract house, revealing the architect’s sensitivity to scale, material and his clients’ needs.
