Nine architects who lead San Diego-based architectural design firms that are redefining housing design, development and urbanization in the region will be featured by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in an exhibition opening May 21 at the La Jolla location. Architects selected are Teddy Cruz, Sebastián Mariscal, James Brown, James Gates, Todd Rinehart, Catherine Herbst, Lloyd Russell, Jonathan Segal and Jennifer Luce.

In 1982, MCASD, then known as the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, organized a now iconic exhibition, entitled The California Condition: A Pregnant Architecture, which presented the work of 13 original California architects at the forefront of the field. More than 26 years later, this new exhibition, MIX: Nine San Diego Architects, is designed to mark MCASD’s institutional commitment to continue to chart and support the work of innovative designers and architects, but today with a regional focus that speaks of the emergence of a specific “San Diego Condition.”
