Eli Broad is throwing a Pritzker Party on Grand Avenue! The LA Times' Christopher Hawthorne has just broken the news that Eli Broad has announced the six firms invited to compete for the job of designing his Grand Avenue art museum project. Four of the six have won Pritzker Prizes.

Aside from wide name recognition, there is little that ties together the work of the firms taking part in the competition. SANAA, which has museums in New York and Toledo, Ohio, to its credit, is known for spare, nearly weightless compositions, while Herzog & de Meuron, designer of the de Young Museum in San Francisco and an addition to the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, often wrap its intelligently arranged buildings in unusual, eye-catching skins.
