MAK CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHITECTURE,
Los Angeles
The MAK Center for Art and Architecture, established in 1994 in Los Angeles, is based today in three of the most important houses by the Austrian-American architect Rudolph M. Schindler.

Since his emigration to the USA in 1914, the experimental Vienna-based visionary has given direction to a modern architectural percept in California. After completion of his own Kings Road house in 1921/22 designed as live-work space, Schindler primary planned and built private residencies, like the Mackey Apartments and the Fitzpatrick-Leland House.
Focusing on the permanent and lively exchange between Vienna and Los Angeles, new tendencies and interdisciplinary progresses on the field of art and architecture have been realized at the MAK Center throughout the last thirteen years. An Austrian cultural institution of internationally esteemed format has been created at the west coast of the USA.

The Mackey Apartments were purchased in 1995 by the Republic of Austria and established as the first permanent Artists-in-Residence center in the US and since then has been the vibrant base of the MAK Artists and Architects-in-Residence program. In 2004 the Mackey Archive has been installed at the Mackey Apartments and is continuously being expanded and digitalized. The Artists and Architects-in-Residence Program at the Mackey Apartments is a six- month residency offered annually to two groups of two artists and two architects at a time. Each spring, a high-profile, international jury of artists, architects and theorists is convened in Vienna to select eight projects from international applicants. In the focus of each Residency and Final Projects is the decided orientation towards the experiment and the encroaching of art and architecture themes.
