"Zumthor's design harnesses the acuity of natural light and the horizontality of the built landscape, creating a glorious showcase for antiquities."
"The building invites the city inside it, with a perimeter of floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the La Brea Tar Pits and neighboring museums."
"From several points on the campus, you can see inside the new exhibition space, perched on seven legs, where various amenities will soon be operational."
"Even when deep inside one of the interior galleries, you are just steps away from reconnecting to the cityscape and bathing in its vibrancy."
The new David Geffen Galleries at LACMA, designed by Peter Zumthor, is a $724 million structure that harmonizes with Los Angeles' cultural landscape.

It includes various amenities such as restaurants and educational spaces, while maintaining visibility of the surrounding urban environment.
