L A Lost & Found: An Architectural History of Los Angeles (California Architecture & Architects)

LA: Lost & Found is a classic study of the landmarks of the odd and the sublime that make up the built environment of Los Angeles. Kaplan's 1987 classic of urban historicism is reprinted with all the illustrations from the original edition, including many photographs by famed architectural photographer Julius Shulman. Kaplan traces the architectural history of this city from its founding to today, pausing to mourn the lost treasures and celebrate the unique visions that have made Los Angeles the brash and energetic place it is today.
