Hidden Gems of LA, an architectural tour

By LinYee Yuan - April 8, 2011

in Architecture

When Palladium Footwear asked Johnny Knoxville to give us a tour of Detroit, we were pretty blown away and inspired by some of the communities and people they profile and the creative energy that comes across in this four-part series. Yesterday, they launched their newest city profile focusing on the architectural gems of Los Angeles including Rosslyn Hotel, a Frank Lloyd Wright property in Malibu, and the Brewery Artist Complex. We especially love the snippet about the Watts Towers, hand-built by Italian immigrant Sam Rodia from bottles and objects largely collected from his neighbors. Check it out after the jump!

  Could have done with more lingering shots of the architecture, less of the presenter.
