    Downtown LA is hurting. Frank Gehry thinks arts can lead a revival

    A model of architect Frank Gehry’ s design of an addition for Colburn School, a private performing arts school in downtown Los Angeles, which will make Bunker Hill the only place with three Gehry-designed buildings in close proximity, on Jan. 31, 2024.

    With two major expansions of downtown Los Angeles cultural institutions in the works, Bunker Hill is primed to elevate its status as the region's leading arts center even as the area around it struggles with persistent homelessness and post-pandemic losses of office tenants.

    Bunker Hill will soon have the largest concentration of buildings designed by Frank Gehry in the world and promises to become a cultural center "like no other place," the architect told the Los Angeles Times.

    The Broad recently announced a $100-million project that will increase gallery space at one of the city's most popular museums by 70%, and the Colburn School for performing arts just broke ground on that will include a midsize concert hall — designed by Gehry — that is expected to be in near-constant use for events put on by students, professional artists and academics.
