Architect Jeffrey Daniels reflects on the KFC that became an LA landmark, designing for David Hockney, and the grand experiment of LACMA’s Geffen Galleries
What a wonderful interview! You made all three so accessible - KFC, Hockney (Love Mulholland Drive painting and his home BTW), and LACMA situation. I would sum up his perspective on work and life that Form is over Function or maybe precedes or creates or transforms function. Look forward to part two!
I liked reading about Daniel’s comments about the new Lacma cause I felt that it was too dark and cold and he gave it another perspective which is interesting. I don’t know if I still am gonna like it any better! RL
I also like Daniels’ reflection on Lacma, particularly the fact that his uncertainty about whether it might “return to space” is continuous with his uncertainty about whether it will be a success or not. It’s almost as if he’s saying “If it isn’t successful, send it back to space!”

What an interesting piece…can’t wait for the next one.
