Selected Architecture in California


The Getty Center
Getty Center Drive
Brentwood, California
Richard Meier, architect
completed 1997

Arguably among the better beige-paneled, billion dollar buildings in western Brentwood. Arguably.

(The comment above was from my initial visit in 1999. Upon my revisit in 2010, I have to say that the Getty is making a more favorable impression on me.
Kinda sorta.)
