Sweeping white surfaces, expansive glazing and monumental curved openings extend MAD's biomorphic language into the museum interior, creating a luminous arrival space around the sculptural glass elevators.

The architecture occupies a new 13-acre campus designed by Mia Lehrer of Studio-MLA, replacing a former asphalt parking area with a multilayered landscape of gardens, paths, meadows and gathering spaces.

Four stories above the central plaza, a large elliptical oculus cuts through the building to establish a direct visual connection between the sheltered public realm and the sky.

Planted roofs extend the landscape onto the building, reinforcing MAD's ambition for it to read as terrain, while photovoltaic panels integrate renewable energy generation into the curved roof.

The elongated white volume has a spacecraft-like presence, fitting with George Lucas's cinematic universe, although MAD's stated architectural inspiration comes from nature and the emotional qualities of narrative art rather than science fiction.

Ma Yansong of MAD Architecture conceived the museum as an organic, sculptural form inspired by the natural canopy of Exposition Park, with a continuous curvilinear envelope intended to blur the distinction between architecture and landscape.

Completed in 2026, its sculptural envelope encloses five levels of galleries, lifted above Exposition Park and cantilevering substantially beyond its points of support to create the impression of a vast volume hovering over the landscape.

Hovering above a newly landscaped plot in Los Angeles, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art takes the form of a vast, biomorphic volume shaped by MAD Architects, with Stantec as executive architect and Studio-MLA responsible for the landscape.
