Modern Skyline
Saturday, September 9, 2023
10:30 a.m.
Think skyscrapers aren’t historic? Think again! After seeing how downtown L.A. has evolved over the past century, you’ll see our beloved skyline in a whole new way.
About This Tour
L.A. may not be known for its skyscrapers, but the ones downtown pack quite a punch! L.A.’s skyline is studded with towers that tell the story of the city’s evolution, from iconic Art Deco structures to inventive Late Modern hotels to contemporary corporate design office buildings.
You’ll get up close to the public art tucked away within the plazas of these sleek high-rises, and see details that you’ve never noticed before. You’ll also step inside the ‘70s when you visit the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, one of L.A.’s most recognizable and beloved Late Modern buildings.
