On May 3, the Saint Louis Art Museum will host a compelling lecture on the rehabilitation of Anderton Court Shops—a 1952 landmark designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Presented by Aaron Fowlkes of LVMH, the talk explores Givenchy’s recent transformation of the Rodeo Drive property. The project reflects the brand’s commitment to celebrating creativity and craftsmanship while restoring a significant architectural work to its original presence.
Attendees will gain insight into the complexities behind the scenes—from securing approvals for a California landmark to navigating a design process shaped by unexpected historical discoveries. The discussion also highlights the evolving relationship between preservation and modern luxury retail.
This program is part of the Joanne and Alan Kohn Lecture Series, presented in partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ebsworth Park.
For anyone interested in architecture, design, or adaptive reuse, this is a conversation worth attending.
