Year's designs help L.A. build its architectural momentum
Was 2007 a mediocre year for new buildings? A nascent consensus in certain parts of the architecture world says so, and it's not hard to understand why: With the exception of Steven Holl's extension to the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Mo., which opened to raves in the spring, no building by a prominent architect to debut this year escaped critical complaint or public ambivalence altogether. Renzo Piano's New York Times headquarters (too heavy and gray on the skyline) and Brad Cloepfil's Seattle Art Museum extension (too corporate) had their detractors. So did SANAA's teetering New Museum in Manhattan, where the fluorescent lighting and other less-than-polished features had certain art critics complaining.

Jennifer Siegal was feature in the November 2007 issue of Dwell Magazine.

The Washington Post said:

"The best of the designs, because it is modest, practical and closely connected to a genuine populist tradition, is Jennifer Siegal's plan for a "GlobeTrotter," an expandable theater carefully packed like an accordion with attachable balloons into a tractor-trailer." Read more here.
