Greg and I both enjoy architecture. It’s one of those things we have in
common. To me great architecture is as
much an art form as a great painting or sculpture. So when we decided to go to Los Angeles, we
knew we wanted to take some time for doing an architecture tour. Well, the Frommer’s guide book I picked up
had a suggested architecture tour all marked out and we spent our first day in
LA following it.
Why reinvent the wheel??
Because it would take too much writing here
to describe each of the places we visited, I will put a link in for each place
so you can find out more about them if you want. Just click on the names.
We started at The Gamble House in beautiful
Pasadena, went on to Union Station, then on to the Bradbury Building (my
personal favorite and one of the sets of one of my favorite movies “Blade
Runner”) and finally on to the Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank
Gehry. We also went up to Frank Lloyd
Wright’s “Hollyhock House,” but it was closed by the time we got there. However, up on that hill were fantastic views
and we got our first glimpse of the famous HOLLYWOOD sign. So here you go…
