The Iron Lotus: Los Angeles and Postmodern Urbanism
In this article, we examine the landscapes of Los Angeles for evidence of a postmodern urbanism. We begin by contrasting the principles of the Chicago school's modernist industrial metropolis with the putatively postmodern Los Angeles school. We then examine the range of contemporary Southern California urbanisms and interpret this evidence as defining the problematic of a distinctively postmodern urbanism embedded within an emergent global capitalism.
