ARWatch Peter Zumthor's impromptu remarks at the preopening ceremony of LACMA's new David Geffen Galleries in Los Angeles this week.
Seemingly unprepared (or reluctant) to talk about his design, Zumthor instead talked about his connection to the United States: From his childhood in Basel, Switzerland, during the WWII liberation by American troops to his time as a young architecture student at Pratt Institute @prattsoa in NYC and later teaching at SCI-Arc @sciarc in LA.
"I love this city," he said about Los Angeles with a smile. "This is a great city!"
