Description
"Los Angeles is a city whose buildings define it, a city whose buildings are instantly recognizable. A bestseller in hardcover, Iconic L.A. has been completely updated and revised to include Case Study House #8, the famed steel-and- glass masterpiece designed by Charles and Ray Eames"--Provided by publisher.
First Sentence
Shortly after the turn of the century, Los Angeles began its lazy sprawl across the western edge of the continent, a laid-back, sundrenched town shaped by orange groves and movie shoots, inventing itself as it went along.
Description
"Los Angeles is a city of instant recognition. The thirteen buildings of Iconic LA, identifiable the world over, demonstrate the personality and power of Los Angeles as a major metropolis. Their stories are the story of a city in progress, an urban biography that tells a century's worth of history."--BOOK JACKET.
