"If L.A. is one of the world's leading cities in architecture,
then it is because it is a sympathetic ecology for architectural design,
and it behooves the world's architects to find out why."
- Reyner Banham: LOS ANGELES - THE ARCHITECTURE OF FOUR ECOLOGIES
"... Indeed, nearly every residential design with architectural distinction here
has been both experimental - in the sense of using new materials,
or combining influences in a fresh way, to say something authentic about L.A. - and pragmatic."
- Christopher Hawthorne: LA TIMES
"Trying to make sense of the world without acknowledging architecture's psychological impact on it
is to miss a fundamental aspect of its nature."
- Deyan Sudjec: THE EDIFICE COMPLEX
