Materials & Applications (M&A) is a non-profit dedicated to building a public culture of experimental architecture in Los Angeles. Our mission is to advance innovative and critical ideas in architecture through temporary outdoor installations, workshops, and critical dialogues in collaboration with architects, artists, and communities.

"In the heart of Silver Lake, one of Los Angeles’ most vibrant creative cultural centres, the Materials & Applications exhibition space is redefining what an architecture gallery can be. Part architecture gallery, part public art display, and part workshop for experimentation and learning, the venue provides an outdoor exhibition space for new architectural ideas, while inviting the public to participate in creating its installations." -- Uncube Magazine | Sept 25, 2014
