Visage Brut, the public installation designed by Chair of Graduate Architecture, Landscape, and Urban Design Andrew Holder’s firm, The Los Angeles Design Group, is on display at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music Festival. “Born from an experimental collaboration with software-assisted steel fabricator Stud-IO Construction, the installation transforms an industrial material used in retail construction into an expressive form. Its mesh and selectively skinned surfaces shift from sculptural mass to filigreed lattice as light changes, and nighttime illumination animates its dual nature. Encountered as both landmark and invitation, ‘Visage Brut’ offers shaded niches, intricate surfaces, and a layered legibility that encourages festivalgoers to slow down and look closely.”
