The L.A. architects who design buildings that make you say, ‘Huh?,’ then ‘Wow!’
Johnston Marklee, the architects behind the UCLA Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios
Carolina Miranda profiles Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of Johnston Marklee, the architectural firm behind the new UCLA Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios for the Los Angeles Times.
"Los Angeles architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee are often described as what they are not.They are not creators of ebullient structures like Frank Gehry. They do not design aggressively seismic forms like Thom Mayne. They are not Eric Owen Moss. They are not Zaha Hadid. They are not the boxy Modernists of midcentury.
