The UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design was awarded the 2005 Progressive Architecture Award (P/A) by Architecture magazine for “L.A. Now: Volume 3,” an urban design research project encompassing 35,000 housing units in downtown Los Angeles.
The project was led by UCLA professor Thom Mayne, principal in the architecture firm Morphosis. Other Desert Cities partner Kenneth Ford acted as graphic director for the project. Now in their 52nd year, P/A awards recognize unbuilt projects that demonstrate overall design excellence and innovation. Over time, they have served as bellwethers of emerging architectural design trends and talents.
