Un aperçu anticipé d'une des transformations urbaines les plus excitante en Amérique. Ce livre grand format, richement illustré, retrace le parcours d'Eric Owen Moss, au cours duquel, il effectue depuis plus de vingt cinq ans des transformations étonnantes à Culver City dans le comté de Los Angeles. A much-anticipated look at one of the most dramatic and exciting urban
transformations in America. This oversize, profusely illustrated book
tells the story of the more than twenty-five-year history of
cutting-edge architect Eric Moss's transformation of a once blighted
warehouse district on the edge of Los Angeles—the Hayden Tract in Culver
City. With stunning and dramatic interventions, more than fifty of the
old buildings now host such forward-looking, avant-garde high-tech and
graphic design companies as Nike, Converse, AOL, Ogilvy International,
Go Daddy, and Kodak. The buildings have names like Beehive, Stealth,
Slash and Backslash, and Pterodactyl, and the district has become a
favorite for firms involved in the film industry. The book will have
great appeal to city and urban planners, developers involved in urban
restoration and renewal, young architects and students, and anyone
interested in advanced civic design.
