| Summary: | "Almost twenty-five years ago, Doug Suisman published a small book of enormous significance: LOS ANGELES BOULEVARD. In his text, architect and urban designer Suisman laid out his views on the urban structure of Los Angeles, exemplified by the long boulevards that cut across the urban body that is Los Angeles. Originally issued in an edition of only 1500 copies, the book soon went out of print. For this expanded 25th Anniversary Edition, Suisman has contributed a new introduction and ten new essays on boulevards in his urban design practice, illustrated with a series of wise and elegant drawings to compliment the original eight essays with their original photographs and Suisman's own evocative and informative drawings and plans"--Provided by publisher |
