Ode to Los Angeles Part II: Farewell Architecture

     Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?
    -Jack Keroac, On the Road

    

    Don't think I won't miss you Los Angeles...

    When your architecture can look like this:

    So for now....

    Goodbye Pierre and your Case Study Homes

    Goodbye Louis and your Salk Institute

    Goodbye Richard and your hard to get into Health House

    Goodbye Frank and your Californian experiments

    Goodbye Greene and Greene Brothers

    So long Coop Himmelb(l)au with your un-occupiable symbolism

 

    and crazy classrooms

    Goodbye Bradbury Building

    And Buck House doorknobs

    So long Bullocks Wilshire Building and your awesome light inlays

    And farewell to you, Perloff Hall

    I'll see you in Berlin, Filosofers!
