Architettura a Los Angeles

Los Angeles Architectural Gems

This collection highlights the diverse structural history of Downtown Los Angeles, featuring Frank Gehry’s stainless steel Walt Disney Concert Hall and the 1939 Spanish Colonial Revival Union Station. The selection spans the 27-story Art Deco-influenced City Hall and the Victorian-era Bradbury Building, known for its intricate ironwork. Modernist landmarks like the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels sit alongside historic transit icons like the Angels Flight funicular. Public installations, including the Triforium carillon and Arthur J. Will Memorial Fountain, anchor the civic center’s cultural landscape.
