the garden’s plantings, he
added, will cover the archi-
tecture over time.
Beneath the rooftop, the
museum will follow the clas-
sic courtyard plan of a Kore-
an hanok, or traditional
home. With its shifting light
shaped by the mountainous
forms above, the central
courtyard will be circled by
an interconnected and flex-
ible ring of galleries, meeting
rooms, offices and archival
space, plus a cafe and gift
shop. The museum is hoping
to place large-scale sculp-
tures in the courtyard, and
the walls lining the plaza
will be movable to create a
larger continuous space.
Two levels of parking will lie
underground.
Los Angeles has the larg-
est population of Korean
Americans and the biggest
Koreatown in the United
States. But until now, it
hasn’t had a permanent
museum dedicated to cele-
brating the community’s
heritage and creativity. Themuseum, which will rise
at 6th Street and Vermont
Avenue, was founded in 1991
but has had to partner with
other cultural institutions to
stage events such as show-cases of contemporary Kore-
an American artists and an
exploration of kimchi in Ko-
rean American culture.
The museum has raised
$15 million for the project,
whose construction is esti-
mated at $25 million (with
soft costs such as permits,
taxes and consultant fees
raising the total to $32 mil-
lion to $35 million). The site,
aformer Los Angeles De-
partment of Transportation
parking lot, will be leased
from the city for $1 a year.
“We’re just so excited to
be here,” said the museum’s
executive director, Shinae
Yoon. She noted that organ-
izers considered other lo-
cales like Orange County
before choosing Koreatown
for, among other things, its
concentrated population of
Korean immigrants and its
urban vibrancy. “It just rein-
forces the idea that we are amelting pot. That California
has brought so many cul-
tures together.”
Whether melting pot or
salad bowl proves the best
metaphor for the museum,
the presence of so many
people of Korean descent
on the Morphosis team was
aplus for the institution’s
board, Yoon said.
Morphosis’ Yi said his
team’s Korean makeup was
a coincidence. Yi himself is a
Korean American who has
worked for Morphosis on
and off for 15 years, helping
to found the firm’s Seoul of-
fice in 1994. He also helped
design the Korean Embassy
in Tokyo for Korean archi-
tects Chang-jo.
Two earlier iterations of
the museum were designed
by Seoul-based Suh Archi-
tects and L.A.-based Gruen
Associates. The latter inte-
grated more than 100 hous-ing units into its design.
But that plan, intended to
help fund the institution’s
endeavors, was scrapped
in 2018 after being deemed
too costly.
The timing of the muse-
um’s opening, Yoon said, is
especially important as
many first-generation Kore-
an Americans age and their
stories potentially are lost.
The museum has begun
compiling historical re-
sources for its archives and
hopes one day to have a per-
manent art collection. The
institution also will provide
a focal point for a communi-
ty, she said, that is renowned
for its digital presence but
not for bringing its mem-
bers together in real life.
“So much happens online
these days,” Yoon said. “But
to have a physical space, and
one as beautiful as this,
means the world.”THE MUSEUM, in an artist’s rendering, will include a rooftop garden and grooved patterning based on a traditional Korean motif symbolizing rebirth and long life.
