<b>A much-anticipated look at one of the most dramatic and exciting urban</b>&nbsp;<b>transformations in America.<br></b><br>This oversize, profusely illustrated book tells the story of the more than twentyfive-year history of cutting-edge architect Eric Moss’s transformation of a once&nbsp;blighted warehouse district on the edge of Los Angeles—the Hayden Tract in&nbsp;Culver City. With stunning and dramatic interventions, more than fifty of the&nbsp;old buildings now host such forward-looking, avant-garde high-tech and&nbsp;graphic design companies as Nike, Converse, AOL, Ogilvy International, Go&nbsp;Daddy, and Kodak. The buildings have names like Beehive, Stealth, Slash and&nbsp;Backslash, and Pterodactyl, and the district has become a favorite for firms&nbsp;involved in the film industry. The book will have great appeal to city and urban&nbsp;planners, developers involved in urban restoration and renewal, young architects&nbsp;and students, and anyone interested in advanced civic design.
