Starving for Embarrassing Architecture

Starving for Embarrassing Architecture
Author: Erik Göngrick

Like a modern-day Columbus, German cultural investigator Erik Göngrick set out on his bicycle to discover the real architectural landscape of Los Angeles. He journeyed from the Pacific's edge into the heart of the San Fernando Valley, armed only with a camera, pen and notepad. The end result is an hysterically funny record of the at times downright embarrassing architecture of ?greater? Los Angeles. But Göngrick makes it clear this is a tribute to the creative and independent forces that lie beneath the veneer. This classic document unfolds through 250 photographs, personal line drawings and hand-drawn maps.
