SynopsisDIVERSE AS FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, CHARLES EAMES, RICHARD NEUTRA AND SIMON RODIA (WHO DESIGNED THE UNIQUE WATTS TOWERS) IN THEIR PROPER CONTEXTS OF MOUNTAINS, PLAINS, BEACHES AND FREEWAYS.
For anyone living in (or interested in) Los Angeles, this is a must read. Banham is a brilliant writer and though this book was first published literally 50 years old, it remains absolutely fresh. The buildings he describes largely still exist and his historical observations remain dead on. Banham brings his considerable wit to the table as well. Many times you will laugh aloud, I promise.
