The husband-and-wife team of Craig Hodgetts and Hsin-Ming Fung form what might be described as an ideal partnership: Their collaborative work is strengthened both by their own harmonious relationship and by the cultural differences they bring to their work.
It is a formula that has served them well as they have grown from a mom-and-pop architectural practice to designers of a number of high-profile commissions.
In 1992 the firm was commissioned to design UCLA's Towell Library, a difficult project that called for a temporary structure set amidst Gothic campus architecture, and their innovative solution won the firm an award.
The firm has established a reputation for high-caliber exhibit design, including a pavilion for Microsoft's Windows 95 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo and the design of the Library of Congress Charles and Ray Eames show.
Other significant projects include the renovation of the landmark Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, California, for American Cinematheque.
This design achieved the feat of bringing a sense of spectacle to the theater while accommodating the technical and aesthetic needs of its decidedly contemporary patrons.
Other projects include a redesign of the storied Hollywood Bowl, a new fine arts building for the Los Angeles Otis College of Art and Design, and a performing arts center for the Minnesota Orchestral Association.
The pair have won many awards and grants, including three Progressive Architecture awards and the American Academy of Arts and Letters' Architecture Award.
