Johnston Marklee, Winner of the of the 66th Annual Progressive Architecture Awards
The award was granted for their innovative design of the UCLA Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios
The UCLA Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios, designed by Los Angeles-based architecture firm Johnston Marklee and Associates, is winner of the 66th Annual Progressive Architecture Awards for their innovative design for the UCLA Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios. The transformational project will further enrich the top-ranked UCLA Department of Art's engagement with the arts community locally and globally. In July 2016, the School of the Arts and Architecture received a generous $20 million lead gift from alumna and renowned art dealer Margo Leavin in support of the project.
"Out of nearly 200 unbuilt submissions, this year’s jury— comprised of Paul Andersen, J. Frano Violich, and Claire Weisz—selected 10 winners that showcase innovative design from established heavyweights and fresh new perspectives. Though they hail from different regions and explore varied typologies and scales, to a one, these winning projects demonstrate how architects taking thoughtful design risks can yield progressive and unexpected environments."— Katie Gerfen, Feb. 12, 2019
