Schindler Lab is an exhibition series in which artists and architects who have a particular interest in Schindler's work are invited to develop installations that help visitors understand the Schindler House in new and dynamic ways. For the second round, MAK Center presented A Little Joy of a Bungalow. Each of the three works took as its starting point (Sophie) Pauline (Gibling) Schindler and her role in the formation and life of the Schindler House. Each project in this exhibition of site-responsive works by Molly Corey, Andrea Lenardin-Maddin, and Escher GuneWardna Architecture  examined the experience and historic social environment of the Schindler House in consideration of Pauline Schindler’s legacy.

Unique in its role as an historic site and exhibition space, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles, at the Schindler House develops local and international projects exploring the intersection of contemporary art and architecture. Acting as a "think tank" for current issues, the Center encourages exploration of practical or theoretical aspects in art and architecture by engaging the Center's places, spaces, and histories. Established in 1994, the Center is housed in the landmark R.M. Schindler House (1921-22) in West Hollywood. In addition, the Center maintains and occupies two other Schindler-designed buildings, the Mackey Apartments (1939) and the Fitzpatrick-Leland House (1936).
