Courtyard Housing in Los Angeles: A Typological Analysis
By Unknown Author.
Description
The courtyard houses of Los Angeles range from humble to sumptuous, from simple bungalow-style dwellings arranged around a central court to more ornate buildings combining Italian, Spanish, and North African influences. The courtyards not only create a sense of privacy and provide an illusion of green space for their inhabitants, they also provide a viable option of housing in dense urban areas. This book documents the courtyards through drawings, plans, and over 200 black-and-white photographs. - from Amzon
