Pocket Guide to Los Angeles Architecture (Norton Pocket Guides)

This guidebook organizes 100 architectural highlights into three walkable downtown tours and two side trips.
Sprawling Los Angeles may never be considered a walking city, but this concise handbook organizes one hundred must-see architectural highlights into three downtown walkable tours and two delightful side trips. It covers such classic sights as Graumanâ€™s Chinese Theatre and the Griffith Observatory; modernist landmarks such as the Schindler House; creative reuses such as the hip Standard Hotel, once the Superior Oil Building; and the latest new public and cultural buildings, including Frank Gehryâ€™s Walt Disney Hall and Richard Meierâ€™s Getty Center. Each entry summarizes the structureâ€™s history and significance and is illustrated with original drawings that capture the essence of the place. 150 line drawings
