WHAT’S NEW?

This week’s Monday Morning studio activity looked into the future. The team explored a 2040 vision of KFA’s office as a hybrid architecture, research, and fabrication practice, reimagining a Culver City campus that brings together studio space, light manufacturing, housing, and landscape systems into a single, integrated environment.

The exercise challenged participants to quickly develop massing concepts that balance production, research, and residential uses, while preserving the existing office and honoring its history.

In the studio, teams built physical models using everyday materials, while remote participants used AI tools to generate their concepts. The results were inventive, engaging, and full of ideas about how design, technology, and community might come together in new ways.

Happy 30th Anniversary to the Mid-Valley Regional Branch Library in North Hills. It was a pleasure to join the celebration with the Mid Valley Branch Library board, staff, volunteers, friends, and community members who have led and supported this library over the past three decades.

Over the past 30 years, the library has grown into an active community center that hosts educational programs, cultural events, and services for residents of all ages. Designed by KFA, the 28,000 square foot library opened in March 1996 and has served as a welcoming place for learning, gathering, and discovery. Located within a neighborhood park, the building has become a place for public service and community life in North Hills.

It was wonderful to celebrate this milestone and hear stories about how the library has grown through the dedication of its leadership, staff, volunteers, and neighbors.
