 CRIPTION:\nCelebrate the opening day of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art 
 with an exclusive evening featuring the architect behind one of Los Angele
 s’ most anticipated cultural landmarks: Ma Yansong\, founder of MAD Arch
 itects. Discover how architecture can transcend physical space to create c
 onnections between people\, cities\, and nature. \n\nWhat to Expect:\nYans
 ong will give a presentation on his architectural practice\, including the
  vision and design of the Lucas Museum\, followed by a roundtable discussi
 on with Tracey Bates\, Thom Mayne\, and Eric Owen Moss\, moderated by Fran
 ces Anderton. \n\nBio:\nMa Yansong is the founder of MAD and one of the mo
 st influential architects working today. Under his creative leadership\, M
 AD has gained international recognition for its fluid\, organic architectu
 ral language. His practice moves beyond the conventions of modernism and c
 ommercial development\, emphasizing emotion\, spiritual experience\, and h
 uman connection. His work extends into exhibitions\, publishing\, product 
 design\, and the arts\, crossing disciplines and expanding the boundaries 
 of architectural thinking. \n\nTracey Bates is the Chief Executive Officer
  of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. She oversees the museum’s institu
 tional operations\, shaping strategic vision\, revenue growth\, visitor ex
 perience\, and development to establish the museum as a vital cultural res
 ource for Los Angeles and beyond. She is charged with leading the Lucas Mu
 seum into its inaugural year\, transforming a years-long vision into a thr
 iving\, publicly accessible institution.\n\nThom Mayne FAIA ‘69 founded 
 Morphosis in 1972 as a collective practice of architecture\, urbanism and 
 design\, rooted in rigorous research and innovation. Working globally acro
 ss a broad range of project types and scales\, Morphosis is recognized for
  its innovative and sustainable designs for cultural\, civic and academic 
 institutions. \n\nEric Owen Moss FAIA is Principal and Lead Designer of Er
 ic Owen Moss Architects. With each new project\, EOMA explores new ways to
  think\, to feel\, to see\, and to understand architecture – to continua
 lly ‘Make it New.’ The firm avoids traditional organization strategies
 \, standardized design solutions\, and any notion of architecture as simpl
 y a repetitive style. Each new design endeavor is positioned within an ong
 oing search for new and imaginative ways of engaging the world\, with the 
 aim of creating spaces where everyone can feel this powerful spirit of dis
 covery.\n\nFrances Anderton is an award winning author who covers Los Ange
 les design and architecture in print\, broadcast media and public events\,
  with a current focus on housing. For many years she hosted DnA: Design an
 d Architecture radio show for KCRW public radio station.\n\n\nPresented by
  the USC School of Architecture. Co-sponsored by USC Visions and Voices. \
