I love that pedestrian bridge! The JP Pavilion....
I'd have to see in person to form a genuine opinion, but it clearly has the same design language as the WD Concert Hall.... I've never been to Chicago!....
Downtown Blues
Blues that is due to having to listen to an inane amount of jury-duty related bickering, but it was worthwhile getting out to downtown L.A. after a while to get some new images of these developing environs .... (Via Google Pixel 8 Pro) ...
I take it you're referring to....
The building in the first few images, The Walt Disney Concert Hall, courtesy of the late, and, depending on whom you ask, potentially great Frank Gehry 😉👌........
Unfortunately Patina closed...
...but I'm pretty sure Nic & Stef's is still just down the street 😋😋😋. THAT'LL cure yer Blues!!
Contrary to popular belief, there are several examples of world class architecture in downtown L.A.
…as your superb photos illustrate +++
I admit that I had no idea😳 This post is as educational as it is impressive.
The concert hall, like anything from Gehry, is out of this world. Separately, I wonder what Dudamel is doing after this season. I always admired his passion since his beginnings as a young conductor. Edit: I looked it up, Dudamel is going to NY afterwards...
My perspective on Gehry's work is both highly positive and neutral....
In the case of the WD Concert Hall, I have always dearly loved it, and consider it to be among the world's greatest feats of architecture, right up there with Zaha Hadid's work.... On the other hand, I can see why some of Gehry's other works are, to say t...

Just in that immediate area: Gehry Disney Hall, Isozaki MOCA, AC Martin LA Water & Power, Moneo Cathedral, Himmelblau LAUSD, Morphosis CalTrans
and that's only hitting the most famous modern architects.
To be perfectly honest....
I cannot really complain since this is the first time they actually selected me as a juror in my lifetime, and I'm 41. Previously I was told not to even show up most of the time, and last time I did go to court but was dismissed on the first morning.... I...
That may well be the case....
An entertainment law attorney was likewise dismissed in my case before the trial began.... I did however set my mind on becoming an expert witness at some point given the fees that they frequently collect 😁😇😁....
I mean....
An entomologist was raking in $700+ an hour 🙂. I could easily provide expert opinion in either real property or security for those kinds of wages 😊....
Absolutely 😂
Only those who live and/or work there - bankers, accountants and lawyers 😄....
Wonderful shots, Filip!
The WD Concert Hall is such a wonderful piece of architecture ! Best, Emmanuel
I feel that way Emmanuel....
Despite the fact that Gehry has certainly always inspired a real mix of perspectives and sentiments.... Cheers, Filip
Thanks, as always, for the great pictures.
It certainly looks like there’s some interesting buildings in LA. The concert hall looks particularly special. All the best, Jon
