☀️ 2025 Summer Courtyard Announcement ☀️ We are thrilled to share details about our 2025 courtyard project! 𝓛𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓖𝓪𝓾𝓰𝓮 by the international design and research practice Departamento del Distrito @deldistrito will function as a zone of performance, encounter, and cooling, mediated by two photovoltaic space frames that levitate above the M&A x Craft Contemporary courtyard. Working with the courtyard’s north-south axis, photovoltaic modules are arranged due south to provide shade for zones of collective occupation while generating all power required for public programming. This temporary installation will address questions surrounding energy and infrastructure here in Los Angeles, exploring the policies, technologies, and architectures that enable self-determination. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Informed by adaptable industrial systems and network thinking, 𝓛𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓖𝓪𝓾𝓰𝓮 is concerned with local strategies of renewable energy production and distribution that aim to increase the accessibility of essential resources. A cooling center serves as the installation’s primary public program. Panels provide shade. Fans generate a subtle breeze. Energy is free 🔌 ☀️ Join us at the courtyard for a summer solstice opening ☀️ Saturday, June 21st 12 - 5 PM Free This program kicks off this summer's partnership between Materials & Applications @materialsandapplications and Craft Contemporary @craftcontemporary 🎉 𝓛𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓖𝓪𝓾𝓰𝓮 is commissioned and produced by Materials & Applications @materialsandapplications and possible due to the critical support of partners including Solarpunks @solarpunks.club and Nous Engineering @nousla, the generosity of funders including the California Arts Council, LA Department of Arts and Culture, and Rice University Cultural Works Subvention Fund, and sponsors Rohn Towers / Talley @rohnproducts @talleyllc. 🔗 More info via link in bio!
