Next Week! 📣⁠ ⁠ Join us at the MAK Center for a panel on Schindler and the Early Use of Concrete in Southern California. with Kenneth A. Breisch, Ann Harrer P.E., Susan Macdonald, and Chandler McCoy.⁠ ⁠ Rudolf Schindler was one of several influential modernist architects to explore concrete for its economy, plasticity, and constructability. Schindler’s own house was a bold experiment, using the new technique of tilt-up concrete construction for its exterior walls. But, like many experimental building systems used during the modern era, the conservation of early concrete poses challenges to those charged with maintaining it. Kenneth A. Breisch, Ann Harrer, Susan Macdonald and Chandler McCoy come together in a panel discussion that covers the history, use, and conservation issues related to early concrete structures in Southern California.⁠ ⁠ PANEL DISCUSSION⁠ Thu, Aug 18, 2022⁠ 7pm-9pm⁠ ⁠ Schindler House⁠ 835 North Kings Road⁠ ⁠ This lecture series is a part of our centennial exhibition, "Schindler House: 100 Years in the Making," emphasizing acts of making, unmaking, and remaking that have constituted the house and its mythos over this century. ⁠The exhibition is curated by MAK Center Director Jia Yi Gu and architectural historians Gary Riichirō Fox and Sarah Hearne.⁠ ⁠ #makcenter #rmschindler #schindlerhouse #rmschindlerhouse #artandarchitecture #art #architecture #modernarchitecture #westhollywood #weho #losangeles #la
