Overdrive. L.A. constructs the future, 1940-1990.

Publisher:	Los Angeles : Getty Trust Publications 2013.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	From 1940 to 1990, Los Angeles rapidly evolved into one of the most populous and influential industrial, economic, and creative capitals in the world. During this era, the region was transformed into a laboratory for cutting-edge architecture. This book examines these experiments and their impact on modern design, reframes the perceptions of Los Angeles's dynamic built environment, and amplifies the exploration of the city's vibrant architectural legacy. The drawings, models, and images highlighted in the 'Overdrive' exhibition and catalogue reveal the complex and often underappreciated facets of Los Angeles and illustrate how the metropolis became an internationally recognized destination with a unique design vocabulary, canonical landmarks, and a coveted lifestyle. This investigation builds upon the groundbreaking work of generations of historians, theorists, curators, critics, and activists who have researched and expounded upon the development of Los Angeles. 0Exhibition: Getty Museum, Los Angeles, USA (9.4.-21.7.2013).  Read more...
