I personally believe the Getty Centre is hard to beat; it's a fantastic collection of buildings, finishes and views. It's bright, light and stunning. A visit to LA is not complete without a visit to the Getty Centre.
Terrific presentation. One project not shown that is a masterpiece in my opinion is the Christ Cathedral Cultural Center (formerly the Crystal Cathedral Welcoming Center) where Meier does a masterful job tying together the works of Richard Neutra and Philip Johnson who's buildings (The Arboretum and Crystal Cathedral) are on each side of Meier's. Makes the Christ Cathedral Campus a "sumptuous buffet of architecture".
If i remember the Douglas House faces due west. The setting sun was so strong that the house was difficult to live in. Meier said that the house was not quite right for this site. The Smith house was his best. LeCorbusier Villa Savoy was a disaster but considered a great piece of architecture. If the sun is wrong, the house leaks, these are things that make you famous. One of Wright’s clients called Wright and said the skylight is leaking over my dining room table. Wright said to move the table.

"Restrictions are only made to be interpreted." Pretty good!
Master of creating white cubic forms, solid-void relationships, and spell-bounding massing, the great architectural genius of our time and beyond...
