MAK Architecture Tour Winter 2023
The winter tour features the homes of three contemporary architects: Thom Mayne, Charles Ward, and Clive Wilkinson. From the construction of a private canyon to the design of a spiritual retreat, the houses by these Los Angeles-based architects provide examples of domestic experiments and creative freedom unfolding within the very personal settings of their own homelife and family.

Centennial
Dinner
The MAK Center’s Dinner for 100 celebrates the centennial anniversary of Los Angeles most iconic modernist house. The evening is the organization’s fundraiser of the year—if not the century —unfolding in one of Los Angeles’s most celebrated architectural masterpiece: the Schindler House. Named by the Los Angeles Times as one of the city’s top ten places that nourish the soul, the Schindler House has been home to a century of Los Angeles' most iconic and creative artists, architects and designers. In collaboration with Minh Phan of Phenakite-fame, the MAK Center invites our supporters to celebrate the first century of R.M. Schindler’s home and studio.
