HOMAGE TO DOWNTOWN - In Search of Place and Memory in Ancient L.A.

In Homage To Downtown, the historic center of Los Angeles - its distant past, legends, places and greater personalities are all lent a renewed, luminous new presence. In large format, 398 pages and twenty years in preparation, this work includes dozens of new maps, hundreds of obscure photographs, in-depth design tables and ten select essays, all illuminating place and memory within the historic core area. 'Homage' is a breakthrough examination of the heart of Los Angeles and can be considered as a standard reference.
