Eric Owen Moss :

Throughout his career the pet project of Eric

Own Moss has been to revitalize an

abandoned industrial area in Culver City,

California. This was done by introducing

playful building designs to boost community

morale and bring new businesses to the

area. His masterpiece is probably the

building development known as Conjunctive

Points in Culver City, which is a series of

concrete buildings that are freestanding and

free form. This is about as close to sensual

as concrete can get. There are bends, cookie

cutter cut outs, levels, and abutments and

bridges where one would least expect it

An incredible structure in Culver City is the

Gateway Art Tower, which is a black, and

grey building fronted by what appears to be

huge windshields of smoky glass. Yet

another is the Conjunctive Points Theater

Complex, which almost looks like giant

twisted pieces of metal from a roller coaster

rail. Perhaps the most famous is the

Beehive Building, which looks like a coiled

piece of ribbon stacked up tightly in a coil,

and is caped by bold geometric forms


Eric Owen Moss :

He has also designed the incredible

Perm Museum XXI in Russia, which

actually resembles two derailed boxcars

lying on top of another freestanding

glass structure. This huge achievement

is one of the most distinctive looking

buildings in the world.

There are the playful amusement park type

designs and the futuristic international designs

but yet another hallmark look that this creative

genius has adopted is called the Haussmann

effect. That is where a long row of buildings is

designed to look as if they are toppling forward

over each other sideways. The image is

reminiscent of buildings being blown over in a

nuclear blast. There are many good examples of

this type of architecture in Culver City including

a building called the Slash and BackSlash and

the Pterodactyl office buildings


Eric Owen Moss :

Moss is also renowned for his art installations. A

very famous one is The Caterpillar, which was

commissioned for the Los Angeles County

Museum of Modern Art and looks like the rings of

giant redwood split into massive hollow forms that

are propped up on stands.

His efforts have gained recognition locally,

nationally and internationally. In 2003 Eric Owen

Moss was awarded the Business

Week/Architectural Record Award for the design.

This award celebrates individuals who combine

excellent business practices with design. As he is

a humanitarian at

heart who also has the master builder sense of the

good of all in mind, Eric Owen Moss designs have

consistently gained recognition for innovative building

techniques, community development and job creation,

as well as excellence in design.


Eric Owen Moss : Another well-known project of Moss’s was called The

City of the Future and featured his redo of the entire city

of Los Angeles for the year 2106. This project was

sponsored by the history channel and solves practical

problems such as the movement of people, trains, cars,

power and water.

A very special project has been the Arnoff Guest

House, which was built in the forties and is a round

modular home that can be lived on and climbed on. It

was built to give its owners a satisfying view of the

surrounding California forest in Tarzana.

Eric Owen Moss received the AIA/LA

Medal in 1998 for the achievement of an

outstanding body of architectural works.

He is a Fellow of the American Institute of

Architects and was a recipient of the

Distinguished Alumni Award for the

University of California at Berkeley in

2003. He is currently still the director of

the Southern California Institute of

Architecture.
