Los Angeles possesses a heterogeneous urban fabric of many layers, unfolding a collective, cultural organism which fosters and continues to breed an extraordinary range of buildings. This volume provides a unique insight into the exuberant, beguiling and wholly eclectic architecture of Los Angeles. The condition of the city today is examined, encompassing a wealth of buildings by some of the world's leading architects, whilst future perspectives paint a picture of a city that is undergoing constant restructuring in order to accommodate its burgeoning cultural mix.
