Magnetic Los Angeles: Planning the Twentieth-Century Metropolis
ISBN: 9780801862557 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In The Spaces between Buildings, Ford focuses on the neglected -nooks and crannies- between structures, supplementing his analysis with three photographic...
