Here is my ode to good ol' Broad. (Yes; ode and Broad rhyme.)
The façade | Spectacular. White, teak, steel, glass, all the benchmark components of a building dedicated to art. The "T.E.U.C.L.A." Serra sculpture is the first to be on permanent view in a public space in Southern California. Proximity to the Sculpture Garden provides this looming, structured, clinical building balance with good ol' nature. And more art.
The interior | Clean, no-nonsense, spacious. Classrooms are very easy to find. The fourth floor, for Design | Media Arts, has a "lobby" that serves as a game room with a ping pong table and about three game controllers.
The balcony (4th floor) | Very cute cacti and succulents on show atop the teak beams, serving as a sort of shelf. It's pretty precarious, but I haven't seen a thing fall yet.
Untitled, | The second floor houses a small overpriced café called Untitled,. The comma just compounds on the pretense? or the artsiness? the inflated prices already convey pretty well.
The Shoot Room | If I could live here, trust me--I would. Lights, check. Softbox, check. Dem Canon DSLRs, check. Five backgrounds to choose, check. Photogasm, check...
EDA | Stands for Experimental Digital Arts. Basically small but well-equipped exhibition room with a large projection screen for showcasing.
