California Calls You!: Californian Design

California, and in particular Los Angeles, has been home to numerous Hollywood stars and other glam-
orous figures of the burgeoning jet-set since the 1930s. The City of Angels was the ideal place for many architects to develop their ideas. The spectacular land-
