Building Briefing - The L.A. Daily News has a story about the construction of a new building for CalTrans in Los Angeles. This building was highlighted earlier this week by the NY Times as a new landmark--"a towering, perforated metal facade that looms over City Hall, the design speaks as much of the California transit authority's role in shaping the identity of Los Angeles as of the city's cultural enlightenment." Having just spent a few days in downtown LA, it does indeed seem like there's a revival going on in the core of the city that defined "sprawl."
