“Los Angeles has the most diverse architecture of any American city because people from all over the world came here and began tapping Hollywood’s creative talents to design homes and buildings,” said Laura Massino, the architectural historian of Architecture Tours L.A. www.ArchitectureToursLA.com (323/464-7868). “L.A.’s historic core has been undergoing significant preservation efforts at the same time that important new buildings are being constructed, so there is a lot to see for anyone interested in architecture.”
