Remaking Downtown LA, Gehry Style

Having received accolades for his design of Los Angeles’s Disney Concert Hall, architect Frank Gehry is now planning to transform the look of America’s second-largest city further, with the aim of creating a viable downtown on LA’s Grand Avenue. “The $750 million project, which includes the first high-rises he has ever designed for his hometown, is the first phase of a $1.8 billion development plan by the Related Companies that will remake Grand Avenue as a pedestrian-based gathering point.”
