LOOKING BACK AT WHAT?

After years of indifference about its architectural past, Los Angeles is looking backwards. But how to preserve and protect? And what? “In the end, a city should be a repository of memory but not a graveyard for buildings. As Los Angeles grapples with what to preserve and how to preserve it, it must also preserve the openness of spirit that created the great architectural experiment that runs from Gill to Gehry.” – Los Angeles Times
