Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies
Editorial Reviews Los Angeles Times Book Review "Los Angeles deserves to be read today . . . as a model on how to read any city." Book Description Reyner Banham examined the built environment of Los Angeles in a way no architectural historian before him had done, looking with fresh eyes at its manifestations of popular taste and industrial ingenuity, as well as its more traditional modes of residential and commercial building. His construct of "four ecologies" examined the ways Angelenos relate to the beach, the freeways, the flatlands, and the foothills. Banham delighted in this mobile city and identified it as an exemplar of the posturban future. Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies
