Over the past several years, Leong Leong has been increasingly focused on projects that envision new relationships between culture and commerce, public and private, figure and field, domestic and monumental, diagram and effect. Leong Leong’s design process and research is driven by a curiosity for new organization typologies and aesthetic experiences, which offer new ways of living, working and interacting with one another. Frequently expanding the role of the architect with a diverse staff of designers and researchers, Leong Leong’s approach spans between strategic thinking and material experimentation, from the city to the artifact. Recent work exploring the relationship between new typologies of collectivity and the city includes the Anita May Rosenstein Campus for the Los Angeles LGBT Center in Hollywood and the Center of Community and Entrepreneurship in Queens, New York.
