As the Los Angeles County Museum of Artfor its new Peter Zumthor-designed building and aims for an early 2020 groundbreaking, opponents haven’t given up their fight.
About a dozen foes of the Zumthor plan gathered Sunday in a downtown L.A. loft to discuss next steps. The meeting was organized by Richard Schave and Kim Cooper, who co-own the local history- and culture-focused tourism company Esotouric. “The group members all feel that public input has been discounted and curtailed, and they’re seeking to express the public voice, in the public interest,” Schave said, reading a statement in response to The Times’ questions about the recent meeting. The discussion, he said, centered on “how to go back to the drawing table for a better, more reasonable architectural solution.”
