Los Angeles: The Architecture Of Four Ecologies (Repost)

Even this book was written in the early '70's, it remains a cogent view of a metropolis that has changed yet remained the same. It is a place, yes a real place, that is defined by geography and the various cultures of its inhabitants to a unique degree. Architecture is the inter-relationship of people to the natural and built environments. The perspective of 35 years only sharpens the observations made by the insightful author.
