west Magazine says 'ugly' is coming back to LA's architectural realm. Like, leaping into philosophy. Quotes etc., from EOM and Curbed LA statistics. Entertaining and hash mark worthy. west
I like ugly - oh that makes me a creature of a certain era...
Maybe Curbed LA's "Ugliest Building Contest" reflects its era in the same way. The blog's readers, demonstrating in many cases a keen understanding of L.A.'s architectural history, nominated 27 buildings for the dubious honor, including the KFC on Western Avenue, the Romanov Restaurant on Ventura Boulevard and the Venice Public Library. The winner—or loser—was the 6-year-old Hollywood & Highland complex, which posters to the Curbed message boards called "alienating," "crummy-looking" and "designed by someone with ADD for people with ADD."
