Hélène Binet :: A New Exhibition at the Woodbury University Hollywood Gallery

Mounted at the Woodbury University Hollywood Gallery in Hollywood, Swiss-French architectural photographer Hélène Binet's work focuses on striking black-and-white images shot on traditional film. Binet used lighting to heighten the drama when capturing works of architecture such as varied Zaha Hadid’s Maxxi Museum in Rome and Peter Zumthor’s Therme Vals spa in Switzerland.

deasy/penner Spends 5 Minutes With: Sam Lubell, Curator of Never Built: Los Angeles

Pereira and Luckman, LAX Airport, 1952

deasy/penner is a proud sponsor of the upcoming exhibition, Never Built: Los Angeles, opening on July 28, 2013 at the A+D Architecture and Design Museum Los Angeles. Co-curated by Sam Lubell and Greg Goldin and designed by Clive Wilkinson Architects, the show looks at visionary works that had the greatest potential to reshape the city, but never made it past the drawing board stage. We recently caught up with Sam Lubell to chat about the buzzed-about exhibition, which will be on view through September 29, 2013. 

How did Never Built come about? The exhibition came out of an offer by the Getty Research Institute to lend the museum some models of unbuilt architecture projects. From there it ballooned into over 100 projects of all types over the span of over 100 years.
