A Windshield Perspective

A Windshield Perspective: The Framing of LA Architecture and Urbanism will look at the way the experience of driving has shaped the architecture and physical geography of Los Angeles.  The show will examine the notion that buildings are billboards for drivers and delve deeply into how seeing and absorbing the city through the windshield shapes the frontiers of design and city planning.  The city streets are engaged in a continuous dialog with drivers, for good and for bad.  A Windshield Perspective will disect the language that emerges from a city whose fabric is a daily digest of images gathered through a moving vehicle. The romance and terror of the streets are the subject, which can only be fully understood at 35 miles per hour.
