Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Experimental Architecture in Los Angeles presents, for the first time, the recent work of twenty-two of the most innovative, creative, and challenging young architects on the West Coast of the United States. Each architect, in one way or another, is the spiritual child of Frank Gehry and of the second generation of California architects, such as Morphosis and Eric Owen Moss, who followed in his footsteps. Gehry expresses his support for this third generation of architects in his introduction to this volume." "Each architect or firm--among them Michele Saee, AKS Runo, Josh Schweitzer, Guthrie + Buresh, Koning Eizenberg, and COA--is presented in an individual chapter with lavish illustrations accompanied by a brief outline and analysis of the work. Three critical essays, each addressing a different aspect of these architects' relationship to the West Coast, and to Los Angeles in particular, make this volume an indispensable guide to the latest developments in one of architecture's most exciting centers of activity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis The Los Angeles Central Library by : Kenneth A. Breisch
Download or read book The Los Angeles Central Library written by Kenneth A. Breisch and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the most comprehensive investigation of the Los Angeles Public Library’s early history and architectural genesis ever undertaken, Kenneth Breisch chronicles the institution’s first six decades, from its founding as a private library association in 1872 through the completion of the iconic Central Library building in 1933. During this time, the library evolved from an elite organization ensconced in two rooms in downtown LA into one of the largest public library systems in the United States—with architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue’s building, a beloved LA landmark, as its centerpiece. Goodhue developed a new style, fully integrating the building’s sculptural and epigraphic program with its architectural forms to express a complex iconography. Working closely with sculptor Lee Oskar Lawrie and philosopher Hartley Burr Alexander, he created a great civic monument that, combined with the library’s murals, embodies an overarching theme: the light of learning. “A building should read like a book, from its title entrance to its alley colophon,” wrote Alexander—a narrative approach to design that serves as a key to understanding Goodhue’s architectural gem. Breisch draws on a wealth of primary source material to tell the story of one of the most important American buildings of the twentieth century and illuminates the formation of an indispensible modern public institution: the American public library.
Download or read book L.A. Modern written by and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2008-10-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birthplace of American modernism, Los Angeles is the epicenter for a new way of living for the last one hundred years, as manifested in its cutting-edge architecture and design. With roots in the innovative houses by Frank Lloyd Wright, Greene & Greene, and Rudolph Schindler in the early twentieth century, this constantly evolving city became a crucible of modern living. Inspired by the International Style, architects and designers in Los Angeles developed their own individual styles with a rare sensitivity to site, landscape, and human scale. This brand of modernism, blurring the boundaries of indoors and outdoors, has since been imitated from Seattle to Sydney. Acclaimed architecture and design photographer Tim Street-Porter captures the best Modernist architecture of Los Angeles, from the seminal Neutra houses to the idiosynchratic structures by Frank Gehry. With iconic buildings by Craig Ellwood, Pierre Koenig, John Lautner, Charles and Ray Eames, and Oscar Niemeyer, among others, L.A. Modern presents the full spectrum of Los Angeles modernism in gorgeous new color photography.
Download or read book LA 2000+ written by John Chase and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles is a breeding ground for adventurous experimental architects and a magnet for their high-profile clients. L.A. 2000+ assembles the best work completed in the city since 2000, offering a snapshot of the region and its architecture at the dawn of the twenty-first century. From the widely celebrated Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles by ?ber-architect Frank Gehry to lesser known but equally arresting works such as Studio Pali Fekete Architects? Somis Hay Barn in Ventura County and Godfredsen-Sigal's Hustler Casino in Gardena, the picture that emerges is sometimes startling and unexpected but always impressive. The beautifully designed volume collects thirty strikingly original new buildings, designed by both as yet unheralded talents such as null.lab and predock_frane and internationally renowned architects such as Gehry, Thom Mayne of Morphosis, and Eric Owen Moss. The introductory essay by urban designer John Leighton Chase puts these works in historical and architectural context, offering a unique perspective on the opportunities and difficulties inherent in building in a region known not only for its explosive population growth but also for the artistry of its inhabitants. John Leighton Chase, the urban designer for the City of West Hollywood, is a native of Los Angeles. A former architecture critic for the San Francisco Examiner, he is a coeditor of Everyday Urbanism and the author of Glitter Stucco and Dumpster Diving.

Book Synopsis Los Angeles Central Library by : Stephen Gee
Download or read book Los Angeles Central Library written by Stephen Gee and published by Angel City Press. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Declared one of the most beautiful libraries in the world, Los Angeles Central Library is a monument to fine architecture and artwork'and, of course, its renowned collection of the written word and its world-class special collections. Los Angeles Central Library and its history are as fascinating as any of the storied volumes found on its shelves. City leaders fought for decades to build a landmark structure and later battled to demolish it, yet generations of Angelenos have watched the building stand tall, survive fires, and endure into the twenty-first century, ready to face a high-tech society that thought it could live without books.Year after year Central Library proves its essential place in the heart of Los Angeles. And each year it becomes more important.In Los Angeles Central Library: A History of its Art and Architecture, the Library's beautiful building, paintings, murals, sculptures, decor, and storied tile work are captured by the lens of renowned Hollywood photographer and graphic designer Arnold Schwartzman. And its remarkable story of dramatic visuals and civic involvement is chronicled by architectural historian Stephen Gee. Gee tells the story of the creative minds that shaped the structure: architects Bertram Goodhue, Carleton M. Winslow, Hardy Holzman and Pfeiffer Associates; sculptor Lee Lawrie; muralists Dean Cornwell and Albert Herter; painter Julian Garnsey, philosopher Hartley Burr Alexander, and many more. Schwartzman shows it all in page after page of dramatic color, all juxtaposed with historic images and blueprints, many never before published.
Book Synopsis Preserving Los Angeles by : KEN. BERNSTEIN
Download or read book Preserving Los Angeles written by KEN. BERNSTEIN and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ken Bernstein, the City Planner for the City of Los Angeles and a national advocate for historic preservation shares how Los Angeles has led the nation in historic preservation and shares how other cities can do the same. Los Angeles has an image as the "City of the Future"--a city always at the cutting edge of change--but also as a "throwaway metropolis" that cares little about its history or architectural legacy. Yet thereality is quite different. Over the past decade, the City of Los Angeles has developed one of the most successful historic preservation programs in the nation, culminating with the completion of the nation's most ambitious citywide survey of historic resources. All across the city, historic preservation is now transforming Los Angeles, while also pointing the way to how other cities can use preservation to revitalize their neighborhoods and build community. Preserving Los Angeles:How Historic Places Can Transform America's Cities, authored by Ken Bernstein, who oversees Los Angeles' Office of Historic Resources, tells this under-appreciated L.A. story: how historic preservation has been transforming neighborhoods, creating a Downtown renaissance, and guiding the future of the city. While it is younger than many East Coast cities, Los Angeles has a remarkable collection of architectural resources in all styles, reflecting the legacy of notable architects from the past 150 years. As one of the most diverse cities in the world, Los Angeles is also breaking new ground in its approach to historic preservation, extending beyond the preservation of significant architecture, to also identify and protect the places of social and cultural meaning to all of Los Angeles's communities. Preserving Los Angelesilluminates a Los Angeles that will surprise even longtime Angelenos--highlighting dozens of lesser-known buildings, neighborhoods, and places in every corner of the city that have been "found" by SurveyLA, the first-ever city-wide survey of Los Angeles' historic resources. The text is richly illustrated through images by a prominent architectural photographer, Stephen Schafer. Preserving Los Angelesis an authoritative chronicle of Los Angeles' urban transformation-- and a useful guide for citizens and urban practitioners nationally seeking to draw lessons fortheir own cities.
Book Synopsis Standard Architecture Design by : Jeffrey Allsbrook
Download or read book Standard Architecture Design written by Jeffrey Allsbrook and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an in-depth exploration of 9 projects ranging from retail to residential design, Standard highlights the practice of Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary studio Standard while it deconstructs traditional conceptions of interior and exterior space. By honing in on the malleability of the storefront and its transformative role across varying sectors of architecture and design, Standard presents an alternative understanding of the facade. The public/private divide becomes permeable, and cultural narratives can be written from the inside out - flowing from fundamental elements like space and light to the contextual meaning of place. In Standard's world, transitional spaces such as doors, windows, and openings come to define and bring meaning to our collective experience of place. From nooks like Hidden House and Kayne Griffin Corcoran that escape their immediate surroundings to the hybrid retail-gallery venues such as the Helmut Lang Concept Store and Maxfield Gallery in West Hollywood, Standard unveils the studio's unique philosophy in action. Across all of Standard's work is the feeling of osmosis through space and time: where old sites bleed into new structures, and apparently contrasting elements of urban life are artfully exposed to one other, re-producing themselves in the process. The result is a sophisticated rendering of place that is at once as intimate as it is accessible, and as nuanced as it is organic. Standard is the partnership of Jeffrey Allsbrook and Silvia Kuhle, two Los Angeles-based architects whose combined practice stems from a research-based and collaborative approach to architecture, interiors, and design. Standard fuses classical teachings with contemporary applications to arrive at new forms of living and working. 153 colour and b/w illustrations
