These Master residencies have been hosted at Lehrer Architects LA Studio. Artists such as Tim Hawkinson, Alexis Smith, and Lita Albequerque have worked there. Michael Lehrer describes the program and what it's like to work with the artists in the same space.

 Michael Lehrer talks about growing up in the Hollywood Hills and the "Cosmic Trifecta" of Modern Architecture set up by the Lovell House, Ennis House and the Schindler House during the 1920's. As Lehrer suggests, these houses might have set up a precedent for Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water House and his residential concrete architecture.
