The exhibition presents four current Maltzan projects, all of them located in California: two expensive residences (Leona Drive in Beverly Hills and a residence along the beach in Malibu) and the expansion of two small regional museums (the Fresno Metropolitan Museum in the agricultural town of Fresno and the Sonoma County Museum in Santa Rosa...
