The Los Angeles Business Council recently celebrated the finest that the local architecture firms have to offer at their annual Architecture Awards. One of the few award ceremonies of its kind, the LABC honors not only the architects, but also the developers and the construction teams involved in bringing these beautiful projects to life. Of the many awards given away, Inhabitat salutes the best of the best with our following picks ahead!
It’s no secret that we are currently living in though economic times, but the building industry seems to being facing greater challenges as investment and development of government and private infrastructure seems to wane with little recover. These awards by the LABC are testament to a city that is still finding a way to thrive in hard times, and their sustainable aspects goes to show that building green isn’t necessarily more expensive.
Yes, lets celebrate Los Angeles and it’s best architecture. Too bad none of that stuff above even mataches the quality of it’s predecessors.
