L.A. 2000+

"Architectural trends emerge first in Los Angeles. The city is a breeding ground for adventurous experimental architects and a magnet for their high profile clients in creative fields. L.A. 2000+ assembles the best work completed since 2000, offering a snapshot of the region and its architecture at the dawn of the twenty-first century. From the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles by Frank Gehry to lesser known but equally arresting works such as Studio Pali Fekete Architects' Somis Hay Barn in Ventura County and Godfredsen-Sigal's Hustler Casino in Gardena, the picture that emerges is sometimes startling and unexpected but always impressive.".

"This volume collects thirty of these original new buildings, designed by both as yet unheralded talents such as null.lab and predock_frane and architects such as Gehry, Thom Mayne of Morphosis, and Eric Owen Moss."--BOOK JACKET.
