The J. Paul Getty Museum
The J. Paul Getty Museum sits on the top of a hill among the Californian peaks of Santa Monica. The luminous building designed by Richard Meier experiments with the balance between nature and culture. The galleries, offices and auditorium flow into terraces and courtyards, while all internal spaces are illuminated with natural light.
Poltrona Frau Contract provided the auditorium seating system.

Richard Meier
Richard Meier earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University in 1957, worked for Skidmore, Owings and Merrill briefly in 1959, and then for Marcel Breuer for three years, prior to starting his own practice in New York in 1963. Identified as one of The New York Five in 1972, his commission of the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California catapulted his popularity into the mainstream. Richard Meier & Partners Architects has offices in New York and Los Angeles with current projects ranging from China and Tel Aviv to Paris and Hamburg. Much of Meier's work builds on the work of architects of the early to mid-20th century. In 1984, Meier was awarded the Pritzker Prize. In 2008, he won the gold medal in architecture from the Academy of Arts and Letters and his work Jesolo Lido Village was awarded the Dedalo Minosse International Prize for commissioning a building.[4] Meier is a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council. He was awarded the AIA Gold Medal in 1997.
