1100 Wilshire
"Imagine you’re building a clay-colored office structure. You have 16 stark, rectangular floors finished so you decide to take a break at the bar. A fuzzy number of shots later, you find yourself at the losing end of a bet: The remaining 20 stories will be built as a glass triangular tower. This is the only explanation for the hideously mismatched 1100 Wilshire that we’re willing to accept."

Los Angeles Times Building
"it’s a building complex, one that includes a building voted second-ugliest in LA."

Wilshire La Brea
The building’s facade is a jumble of balconies and discordant frontal planes with the northern and eastern faces designed differently, united by a central tower that seems to lack any elegance or even much design

Hollywood Galaxy
“...we don't have much fondness for its design; above ground, it looks like a B-movie spaceship primed for takeoff, with twin staircases anchoring it to the ground. “

Hollywood and Highland Center
"A hulking mall designed to look like the Babylon set in DW Griffith's 1916 epic Intolerance.”

Los Angeles Convention Center
"we're still anxiously awaiting a redesign for the L.A. Convention Center. The tinted entrance atriums are sunny and spacious from the inside, but from the street they look akin to Space Mountain built out of drab, sterile leftovers from a doctors office waiting room.”

Griffith Observatory
Amazing view of LA, beautiful architecture, and amazing attractions. This is a great place to visit even if you just live in the area.

United States Courthouse
The @skidmoreowingsmerrill designed united states court house Los Angeles has a beautiful pleated glass facade that uses opaque glass panels on the east and west faces to reduce solar heat gain and clear panels on the north and south faces to increase natural light into the building
