About project
About project

Adamson Associates, Inc. is the Executive Architect for the Broad Public Spaces, located adjacent to the Broad Museum in Los Angeles. Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in collaboration with landscape architect Walter Hood, the project transforms a 24,000 sf mid-block parcel of land into a pedestrian-friendly public plaza. The space includes an elevated park that connects to a restaurant and a food market.

The park includes a bosque – formed from large specimen trees – that provides a shading canopy, and a lawn for outdoor performances and events. A variety of seating areas offer ample opportunity for visitors to sit in natural surroundings and reflect on the impressive collection of contemporary art that is on display in the museum.
