Exotic Los Angeles Buildings

...is a subject I've only begun to explore!  As a Los Angeles native, I love the "anything goes" attitude that extends even to architecture...from very modern to numerous "revival" styles...and of course the truly exotic buildings...

Drawing downtown...two views of Gehry's Disney Concert Hall..I will tackle this fabulous building again!

I love the shapes and colors in Meier's Getty Center...

...and the slightly eccentric Japanese Gallery at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art by Bruce Goff...

The Hollyhock House was Frank Lloyd Wright's first building in Los Angeles, commissioned by Aline Barnsdall and built in 1921--now part of Barnsdall Park--is often referred to as "Mayan Revival".  He called it "California Romanza"...

...and the Self-Realization Fellowship with its lotus finials on  Sunset Blvd...

The spires of the Holy Transfiguration Russian Orthodox Church rise above a derelict super market...from Sunset Blvd.
