Reviews

"""This study is a necessity for students and scholars to understand the idiosyncrasies of Los Angeles architecture. Gannon sensitively articulates the mark that Frank Israel left on the identity of this complex, every-changing city."" --Thom Mayne ""Weaving together the creative and personal histories of one of all too many architects felled by HIV/AIDS, Gannon's engaging study reveals that the deliberate heterogeneity of Frank Israel's architectural palette and the broad reach of his ideas made his work a centripetal force that turned Los Angeles into a global architectural capital."" --Sylvia Lavin, Professor of History and Theory of Architecture, Princeton University"
