The
Gala
On
Thursday, October 30, 2003, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
and the surrounding Music Center provided a dramatic
backdrop for one of southern California's most prestigious
architectural awards presentations: the 2003 AIA/Los
Angeles Design Awards Gala.
Guests
at the black-tie affair began the evening with a guided
preview of the spectacular new Disney Concert Hall by
Frank Gehry, FAIA, accompanied by members of the Building
Team.
Back
across the street at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion,
guests and honorees mingled at a networking reception,
followed by the awards ceremony. Immediately after the
awards program, guests enjoyed a gourmet dinner catered
by Patina.
This
year's Gala was an unforgettable evening that marks
the continuing renaissance of downtown Los Angeles.
