Descriere magazin:
The map may not be the territory, and the word may not be the thing, but this guide is as close as it gets. Since its first publication by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1965, this seminal vade mecum of Los Angeles architecture has explored every rich potency of the often relentless, but sometimes--as the authors have captured here--relenting L.A. cityscape. Revised extensively and updated rigorously since its fifth edition published in 2003, The Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles now contains ninety-six sections organized in thirteen geographic chapters, boasting over 200 new additions to over thousands of entries cataloging every crease of Los Angeles County\'s metropolitan sheath. Originally written by leading architectural historians Robert Winter--described by Los Angeles Magazine as both the spiritual godfather and father of L.A. architecture--and the late, great David Gebhard, the guide has been revised and edited for a sixth edition by award-winning L.A. urban walker and Winter\'s trusted collaborator Robert Inman.

Dilettantes and experts, practitioners and students, aficionados and osmotic natives alike: all are blood type-compatible with this rich and peerless Bible for architecture enthusiasts. All of its own ilk, this book is thick and alive with a tone of its own making--and doing. A unique style of writing renders the guide simultaneously funny, tasteful, and historically-comprehensive, all with equal measure. Gebhard and Winter fill in the diegetic blanks with a droll eye. More than a critical reference for the bookshelves of scholars, enthusiasts, and practitioners alike, Architecture in Los Angeles is a faithful snapshot of the city as she lives and breathes. Dr. Robert W. Winter (1924-2019)--lauded as a Guru, Father, and Godfather of Los Angeles architecture--was a renowned historian of fabricated Californ
