Los Angeles’ Grand Avenue is home to an incredible display of the city’s capacity to build. On one side of the street stand two new gleaming towers replete with multi-million-dollar “residences,” a luxury hotel, trendy restaurants, and high-end shops. The architect, Frank Gehry. The cost, $1 billion.
Across the street is Gehry’s signature $274 million Walt Disney Concert Hall.
A couple hundred yards southwest is the Colburn School of Music. The jewel of the school’s $350 million redesign, also led by Gehry, is Zipper Hall, a 1,000-seat mini-Disney.
