Last semester I did a group assignment in which my group and I decided to do it in this piece. The name of this piece is, “Corporate Head”, this piece is found in Downtown LA, in South Figueroa. This piece is a bronze statue of a man showing fatigue of his daily routine as a business man. This piece represents the daily life of people who deal with competition in their daily day jobs. I think the main purpose was that to show how sometime people are too involve in their jobs. This was intended for the workaholics. I think the message is clear and it doesn’t change any meaning, you could see a mean leaning from fatigue with his body downwards.

The Corporate head also has a small poem that is relating to the business man that is laying his head on the wall. I think the only problem was the location and what kind of phrase or poem to use for a clear message to the piece. The creator of this piece is a musician and artist name Terry Allen and the creator of the poem was Philip Levine. The Idea is success because my group and I decided to talk about this piece and we found it interesting. It my improve if the statue was raise a little higher and the poem was on top of the figure somewhere were is more visible.

In this blog I want to talk about the most famous building in LA. The name of this architecture is called the" U.S. Bank Tower" which is located in Downtown Los Angeles. This building gives a sense of beauty to the Downtown area, just looking at immense size and dimension. I have been very close to this building and was impress to have it in front of me. From where I live I could see the glass crown of the building, and at nighttime the crown of the building changes colors. This building was created for businesses, but I think it was also created for the media and people who surround this building. I have seen this building in most of the media, newspaper, television, movies, programs, and internet. I think the color of the surface is simply white, because the glass and the crown glass give some different dimension with blue greenish colors. I think some of the floors have suffered some small changes, but from the outside it hasn’t change a bit.

            I think the main purpose of this building was to have give Downtown LA a representation symbol. They might have taught of creating this marvelous building, for that purpose. Maybe some obstacle was the location or dropping some building that were in that location. In creating this building I think it was the solution because is really one of the symbols of LA. It might improve if they keep maintenances and add some more color to it. Overall this building looks incredible at night with its glass crown shining and giving a colorful meaning to this building the tallest from LA.

 

This architecture was made by, Frank Gehry; this piece is named Walt Disney Concert Hall. This architecture is found in Down Town Los Angeles. This place was created in 2003; it was created for mostly adults who enjoy opera concerts. It was created because the widow of Walt Disney wanted to create for events. This place was created for people who enjoy going to musical concerts such as, classical, opera, rock etc. The font has a sort of light that illuminates at night, from the stainless steel that the building was made of. I think they fix the panels from the surface of the building, other than that it hasn’t changed. I think this building is really cool because it makes the building be the focus from its surrounding. Just by looking at it I can see different dimension and a lot of geometric shape.

                I think the problem might have been the material that might have been used. I think the architect and the Walt Disney foundation decided to make the building appearance look different from surrounding buildings, and decided to use stainless steel. I think it’s great because the design and the fonts used outside are fantastic to see. I think it’s doesn’t need any modification I think it looks fine how it is.

 

This post lights are called Urban lights, this are found infront of the LACMA museum. Last semester I did a research of this work, and I learn it's importance. I learn that this building was design to give LACMA a sense of life at night. This light give a sense of life to an empty night , at Wilshire Blvd. Since it's creator Chris Burden created in 2008, it has been a success. It total of lamps is of 202, with 17 different styles, inspired from the 1920's and 30's. It has been visited from people from around the world, many people takes picture for their own records. Maybe the cost might have been the problem due to the high prize of the cast iron. I think this project was a very good idea it accomplishes are the goal that were settle. It has visitors, it also gives also a sense of life during nighttime.

The Theme Building is a iconic architecture found in LA. It's design makes it look like a flying saucer, or a big spider and its four legs. This place is a restaurant where people could enjoy a good dinner, while looking at a nice view. This place was intended to give some life to the airport. I think the size of the building is very precise, since it could be seen from a pretty far distant. This design is pretty cool because it has different lightning fonts, that changes color every often. I think this place is very popular, due to many visitors come and visit it and enjoy it spectacles. I think is purpose didn't change due to is intention was for people to pass by it's location. I think this design is very succesful because it doen't get lost, due to it's dimension and diversity color fonts.

This I found in the school campus. Is the new logo of CSULA. This design is intended for all the people in campus who walked by. It was created for to be a new school symbol. It was intended to be used by the Biological Science building, one of the school most crowded place. The color are the official school colors. The font is pretty noticeable. I thing the main purpose was for the students to identify with the surrounding of campus. The logo change it's meaning because the buildings on the logo represent the most common buildings from LA. The idea was very good because it gives the logo a self identity of how the buildings look in LA.

Today I found this piece, while I was walking in my neighborhood. What called my attention is the use of color, it has a lot. I really like how the image it's at the center. It's very colorful, and makes my eyes move from one place to another. The only thing I didn't like was the lettering, the tone should be more bright or playful. Overall I like this movie add, I could see action going on.

This piece of art, is found in Dowtown, Los Angeles. I found this piece, while I was with my dad; so I decided to take a picture. I think this piece gives the building a focal point, since the building has a sad tone. This piece takes your eyes into the piece to it's dimensions. I like it because it's a three dimensional piece. It gives a lot of meaning to a simple building. This piece is simple and doesn't have a lot of range of color, but it's really well done.
