The vision for the exhibition was to exemplify the ability of people to create the extraordinary from the mundane. Showcasing milk crates, which by their nature are utilitarian objects, celebrates this resourcefulness. The bright and unexpected colors further elevate and transform the material and show it in a new way. Each color, orange, yellow, and pink, is located within a different area of the exhibition space. As visitors explore the gallery, a single color dominates the field of view, while other colors peek through.

Architecture for Community Los Angeles (ACLA) was formed to support the efforts of our schools, institutions, and practitioners to inspire, educate, and engage a wider spectrum of society in the design of our built environment. Our mission is to communicate the value of design to all people, including future generations, so that they can participate with us in making our communities better. Our outreach to K-12 students, their families, and others in the community is designed so that everyone can learn to understand and love design.
