"Los Angeles represents, more than any other city, the American Dream - of wealth, speed, freedom, mobility... Nowhere are there so many superb buildings, designed by top-flight domestic architects... Such a city is not one on which anybody who cares about architecture can afford to turn his back". Reyner Banham, writing in "Los Angeles: The Architecture Of The Four Ecologies".
The following selection of slides is but a fraction of the architecture on offer, but gives some idea of the variety in this city where 'anything goes'.
This set is subdivided into three parts as follows:
Part 1: Frank Gehry (images 1 - 44).
Part 2: Bruce Goff, Arata Isozaki, Philip Johnson, Richard Neutra, Cesar Pelli, R.M. Schindler, Frank Lloyd Wright (images 45 - 89).
Part 3: Craig Ellwood, Michael Graves, Morphosis, Eric Moss, Frank Lloyd Wright (images 90 - 126).
