Nearly a decade into its existence (and roughly 5.5. million visitors later), The Broad, a perpetually buzzy contemporary art museum that has served as a key player in the ongoing cultural renaissance of Downtown Los Angeles, has announced a significant expansion project that will increase the amount of gallery space by 70 percent. Major museum additions are most often—but not exclusively—tackled by design teams differing from those who helmed the original building(s) and previous expansions, resulting in a hodgepodge of different architectural styles reflective of the different eras in which the commissions were completed. Considering that a short amount of time has passed since the museum’s September 2015 opening and the idiosyncratic nature of the museum’s “veil”-cloaked existing building, it’s only fitting that Diller Scofidio + Renfro, who received considerable acclaim for their work on The Broad, is returning for round two.
