When the world ends up with California
Never-ending urban lessons in accompanied with the attractive play of understanding and imagining spaces conducted me to the west of America where is still one of the most developing area in here. The area which is defined by only California state, I believe, is not only a state but an individual country. However the atmosphere of artistic communities and people is not comparable with east coast and specially with New York City. But it is still considerable from other points of view.
Visiting, watching and observing California would be a great chance for every one, specially if he/she is an architect, critic or urbanist.
Urbanist will enjoy watching the urban relation of various segments of this huge machine although some parts of that are wrong and not to be in the proper place.
Architect definitely will enjoy visiting a bunch of architectural masterwork and urbatectist ( which is from Urbatecture)will take a pleasure of relationship between architecture and urbanism specially in south part of LA, Orange County.
It contains the adorable combinations of good and bad, beauty and beast, rich and poor, thoughtful and meaningless subjects, provided and deprived commercial areas which I have never seen. Celebrities on classy streets and just a few steps away poorest people in the world, I believe, are living!
"The shared houses of UCLA's and USC's students next to Beverly Hills!"
It includes the own meaning of diversity!
This year was a busy year for me and now after visiting more than fifteen cities in the US my travel is gradually ending in this huge country but apparently urban lessons and unforgettable urban images never come to an end. Even though I strongly plan to visit one other urban masterpiece; Washington DC in near future which will have further lessons for all of us.
Therefore I decided to review the details of this travel and its lessons more carefully and gently in next steps.
