Renzo Piano’s design for the newly expanded LA County Museum of Art are “resistant to quick analysis,” says Christopher Hawthorne, and that’s not a bad thing. The plans “are likely to make the experience of visiting LACMA richer even as they embrace a pop sensibility and veer close to some New York cliches about California culture. And in bringing art and corporate identity to the foreground, they dim the spotlight on pricey, name-brand architecture.”
