Reyner Banham examined the built environment of Los Angeles in a
way no architectural historian before him had done, looking with
fresh eyes at its manifestations of popular taste and industrial
ingenuity, as well as its more traditional modes of residential and
commercial building. His construct of "four ecologies" examined the
ways Angelenos relate to the beach, the freeways, the flatlands,
and the foothills. Banham delighted in this mobile city and
identified it as an exemplar of the posturban future. In a
spectacular new foreword, architect and scholar Joe Day explores
how the structure of Los Angeles, the concept of "ecology," and the
relevance of Banham's ideas have changed over the past thirty-five
years.
