From the famous church in The Graduate to the Norton Simon Museum, Ladd & Kelsey, Architects were the maestros behind some of the most famous ‘60s and ’70s landmarks in Southern California. Ladd & Kelsey’s lack of inclusion in today’s architectural discourse and popular media is in striking contrast to their accomplished body of work that has left a lasting impact on California Modernism and the USC Style. The panel discussion, moderated by noted architect and historian Alan Hess, will include Linda Dishman, president and CEO, LA Conservancy; Kevin Lane, CEO of Placewares Projects and curator of the exhibition; South Bay architect Joe Spierer, principal, Joseph Spierer Architects; and Wayne Thom, architectural photographer of Ladd & Kelsey, Architects projects.
Reception follows panel discussion and special Q + A with the Kelsey family. Please RSVP by April 16 to: RSVPChristine@
