Discussion
Balcony Media was established in 1994 to publish art, architecture and design books emphasizing the cultural and historical aspects of design. Recent titles include IRON: Erecting the Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Big Idea: Criticality and Practice in Contemporary Architecture and Descanso. In 2000, Balcony Media was tapped by the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects to publish LA Architect. Under the tutelage of Balcony Media, the magazine has gone on to win a number of awards including a Maggie for Best Trade Publication. Now with the launch of FORM, Balcony Media expects to continue its tradition of high quality, intelligent publishing on a national scale.
Publisher Ann Gray practiced architecture professionally for 15 years prior to forming Balcony Media. Gray was studio architect at Paramount Pictures responsible for planning, architecture and interiors. The design work under her administration has been recognized by Progressive Architecture, Interiors and TIME magazines. Gray is a trustee of the California Preservation Foundation and chairs the AIA/California Council Design Awards Committee. She has been recognized by the National Association of Women Business Owners for her entrepreneurial endeavors.
