Review
"The latest from Michael Webb ... is a useful addition to an oppinionated tour of the best architecture in Los Angeles." -- New York Times, June 15, 2000
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From the Author
“We’ve tried to create a compact, up-to-date guide to all the places and things a design-oriented visitor might want to see in a week, as well as a handy ‘black book’ for residents,” says Michael Webb. “The goal was to distill the essence of a vast and confusing city into a slim volume that you could carry around in your pocket or purse.”

The best book for architects and designers visiting LA,
By
This review is from: Architecture + Design LA (Paperback)
What makes this book a great book is its structure and its size. It's small and light enough to be carried everywhere. It's well done, because you have maps, with the buildings marked with numbers and index of the architects, with the names of the buildings referring to the same numbers of the maps. Then you have three different colours, meaning: black open to the public, blue visible by appointment and red private. It makes you going around in LA easier!

where is the current edition?,
By "mike1063" (los angeles, california USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Architecture + Design LA (Paperback)
the outstanding architectural reference guide for the topic....is now updated in the new 2000 edition to cover a wider region with many new examples. format is succinct and easy to use and the elegant graphics provocatively demonstrate the breadth of work accomplished in the southern california region from the early 20th century to today.
