The Voice of the Architectural Profession in California
The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts | SPF:architects | Merit Award
Conventional wisdom for the conversion of a historic post office into a new performing arts center had the main programmatic element (a 500-seat theatre) inserted into the original mail workroom, with an added wing housing all the other pertinent elements. However, we had a different vision: give a new purpose to the historic building without implementing any major alterations.
