I think Architecture in Los Angeles is quite interesting. The
Bradbury Bldg. in Downtown is noirish. In fact I would spend
a morning or afternoon on Broadway Downtown L.A. Lots of
great theaters and buildings. I would also check out the main
Downtown L.A. library on Fifth and Flower.
It is also a good time to visit Hollywood Blvd. That street
will be changing in the next ten years or so. Some of it is
god awful, but if you look hard enough you'll see some
interesting buildings. Especially around Hollywood and Vine
area. Also check out the Roosevelt Hotel.
Great parts of Glendale and Pasadena are also interesting. In
parts not that many tall buildings, but many two story
buildings which I think were built in the 30's. Plus there is
the Miracle Mile (Wilshire), Culver City, and other parts of
the town that hasn't been rebuilt to the max.
I would also recommend that you get a guide book that only
concerns Architecture in L.A. There is a famous one, but I
forgot the title.
