As Marlin points out in this discussion, he has compiled a quick 2-day proposed itinerary for the LA architecture-fan tourist. Very cool idea! via Google Maps
Very nice Marlin. Of course there are many other waypoints in LA, but this is a very nice collection. A coastal tour from Malibu to Long Beach would be very nice, too.
Steve and Cam: Personally, I feel like if all you have in LA is one day, you should sit on the beach at sunset with a cocktail and cry. But seriously, certainly LA is a breeding ground for progressive, worthwhile architecture, but if one day is all you have in Los Angeles, it's really all about the Getty and the Schindler House, and the two projects nicely bookend a SoCal Modernist century. Thanks for the blurb, Paul.

sweet, I'm stuck in LA for 3 days. I'll at least do the downtown loop.

Marlin, good work. I also may add to the downtown loop the Geffen Contemporary at Moca. It's a great adaptive reuse project. Also, across the sidewalk from the MOCA is the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy. I'm a big fan of the latter's design.
