The sprawling city is the epicenter of theatricality and luxury of the Western world. The cinematic scenery, the countless studio setups as well as the historic movie palaces have all imbued the cultural identity of Los Angeles with the cinematic flare, and architecture is no exception.Home to iconic landmarks such as Frank Gehrys Walt Disney Concert Hall and Richard Meiers Getty Center, Los Angeles architecture has become greatly influenced by the entertainment industry. Starting from its architectural schools, the city promotes alternative design practices. For instance, founded in 1972, SCI-Arch is one of the most notable, experimental architecture schools in the world.
