Architectural Styles of Los Angeles: Representative Buildings, Discussions & Field Trips

Metropolitan Los Angeles has numerous iconic buildings representing architectural styles utilized since the founding of El Pueblo de Los Angeles in 1781. This innovative SDG will not only study and discuss these styles but will also visit iconic exemplars for additional in-person viewing. The core book was written by eminent architectural historians, originally as a guide for the Society of Architectural Historians that was meeting in LA in 1964. Many professionals in the field have considered the core book, now in its fully revised 6th edition, the standard reference in the field. The field trips will be significantly longer than the standard two hours and involve carpooling, public transportation, and walking.
