In "Los Angeles Architecture", James Steele considers the historic and geographic elements which are an important part of local sensibilities and weaves them into a narrative about the complex design activity taking place in the city today. Beginning with the pioneering characters of the American Arts and Crafts movement, James Steele traces Los Angeles' architectural energy through the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and Rudolph Schindler to arrive at the buildings of Frank Gehry, who is widely acknowledged to be a peerless interpreter of his surroundings. This analysis expands to investigate the work of those who have followed Gehry's lead, from the avant-garde educational institutions such as Sci-Arc, to those who are attempting to complete the Los Angeles myth by at last giving it a downtown.

Comment aménager un espace social en perpétuelle croissance ? Comment respecter l'écologie, le confort, et les impératifs de sécurité à grande et petite échelle ? Questions multiples qui donnent aux architectes l'occasion de penser leur métier différemment. Los Angeles Architecture, ouvrage en anglais, pose le problème différemment et offre une réflexion à partir des constructions déjà existantes. Pourquoi, par exemple, Franck Lloyd Wright était-il à ce point obsédé par les fenêtres très hautes et très fines ? Comment Richard Neutra parvenait-il à ce jeu d'ombres et de lumières que bien des architectures lui envient ? De quelle façon arrive-t-on à déjouer les séismes et pourquoi "The Temporary Powell Library", réalisée par Hodgetts & Fungs fait-elle office de référence ? Est-ce le fait des arcs-boutants ?
Ouvrage érudit, proposant une base de réflexion pour mieux penser l'architecture du futur, Los Angeles Architecture est aussi un bel objet, fort de très nombreuses photos et dessins d'architectes. De quoi faire rêver... --Nathalie Robert
