Features: This book introduces over one hundred various types of buildings constructed in the past decade, illustrated with photographs. These include shops, residential buildings, as well as designs for construction on rediscovered public spaces (Pershing Square), and housing for the homeless, schools, clinics, libraries, churches, office buildings, and restaurants. These architectural designs represent the achievements of the internationally renowned "LA School" (particularly the works of Moshé Safdie, Frank Gehry, Eric Morse, and Frank Israels), as well as the contributions of some once highly regarded architects like Ray Kappe and Pierre Koenig, and the designs of a new generation of architects, including those from BAN Architectural/Design Company, whose work has ensured the continuation of the new tradition of the LA School. The table of contents includes: Introduction; Book Usage Instructions; Acknowledgments; Malibu; Pacific Palisades and Brentwood; Santa Monica; Venice; Marina del Rey; West Los Angeles/Westwood/UCLA; Culver City; Beverly Hills/Bel Air; Mid-Wilshire to Koreatown; West Hollywood/Hollywood/Hollywood Hills; Silver Lake/Echo Park/Exposition Park/Business District; Tarzana to Glendale.
