LA Past Lives: Boyle Heights
Writing assignment II: Due next week March 11, 2010
A 3 pages analysis and reflection on two chapters from Reyner Banham’s Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies in relation to your individual/group
Project.
Chapter 4: the Transportation Palimpsest (pp. 57-76)
In this section of the book, Banham examines how the freeway system and particular highway intersection affect the city. Read the chapter and relate it to the research material and ideas of your own work.
Chapter 5: Ecology II: Foothills (pp. 77-92)
In this section, Banham articulates the presence and topology of the hill as having a unique determination of how neighborhoods, such as Boyle Heights, are both conceived in their urban planning and experienced as vernacular places. Read the chapter and relate it to your research and main focus.
