AIASD is pleased to welcome Jennifer Luce, FAIA to our 2026 lecture series! Jennifer has led LUCE et studio architects for over 35 years. The studio has always been passionate about collaboration, especially with artists in cross disciplinary fields. Mingei International Museum’s transformation, completed in 2021, is a testament to how a strong architectural narrative combined with the infusion of art can encourage growth, change and philosophical expression. The Mingei’s mission of presenting works of craft, design and folkart has been inspiration for the studio’s interpretation of what Mingei means to architecture. Join us in Jennifer’s design, the La Atayala Theatre at Mingei Museum on Thursday, May 21, 2026 from 6:00-8:00 PM Link in bio to register!

We are thrilled to share that our team will be embarking on the transformation of the Balboa Park Visitor Center. As Balboa Park deepens its programming and civic engagement, a new visitor center will celebrate history and share in the evolution of this nationally recognized 1,400 acre urban park. A huge thank you to Forever Balboa Park (@foreverbalboapark ) for their continued support and dedication to preserving and enhancing the park’s legacy, and for trusting us with this opportunity. Their commitment to this project is inspiring. We are honored to take part in shaping a space at the very heart of the city and look forward to contributing to the next chapter of Balboa Park’s story. #balboapark #foreverbalboapark
