Los Angeles: Architecture & Design (And:Guide)

Eclecticism is LA's defining characteristic. It's a thriving hybrid of a city - decentralised with no clearly defined hub - and its architecture reflects that character. Here is a little guide that will give tourists and professionals alike an overview of notable architecture created in LA during the last fifteen years. More than sixty buildings by renowned architects such as Frank O Gehry (Walt Disney Concert Hall), Rafael Moneo (Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels) and Richard Meier (Getty Centre) are profiled and over 200 colour photographs and site maps are included for ease of use.
