Book Description
When the Los Angeles Basin was mostly developed, the builders and architects turned to the hills surrounding them. During the 1920's, the principal figures of California modernist architecture invented new theories and methods to build on these difficult slopes. Architects whose work is discussed in Building the Slope include Wright, Schindler, Neutra, Lautner, and Ellwood.
