Thesis Help - Equitable Life Building by Welton Becket
I'm currently working on my thesis (research) which is based on the Equitable Life Building (3435 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California) by Welton Becket. I was wondering if archinectors can help me find any detail, construction documents, diagrams or any useful information pertaining this particular project to aid me during my research.
PS: No luck getting any information from La City / aecom (recent firm).
Best,
I would have picked the Cinerama Dome ...
did you search ucla libraries?
here are some findings. i think they also have archives of the firm since they had long relationship with the university.
"Welton Becket was named master planner for UCLA in 1948 and continued as supervising architect for the campus until 1968. At UCLA, Welton Becket worked closely with Ralph D. Cornell (later Cornell, Bridgers and Troller), supervising landscape architect for the campus"
