Los Angeles

Originally published in a deluxe limited edition, this compact book captures the magnificence of the city's architecture and breathtaking natural surroundings--from the most coveted homes of Hollywood and Beverly Hills, to the best examples of modern and contemporary architecture by the sea. From the Eames's Case Study House to Gehry's Disney Concert Hall, this book spans Venice Beach to Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills mansions to motels, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels to the Chateau Marmont, and Deco theaters to drive-ins.
