Meacham - Blog 8







The Getty Museum in Los Angles, California is one of Richard Meier most famous pieces of architecture. It's an icon for the area and a backdrop for many different movie and shows. It's all white look with its rounded designs really draw people in and also since it's set on the hillside looking over LA, it allows for a great view of the city and brings in many spectators for that specific reason. It also has several garden areas that were designed by another designer. Even though Meier didn’t design the garden areas, they do a great job of bring out the design of Meier’s building. The massive structure towers over the gardens as the stone and white tile elements really do a great job of contrasting the surrounding environment. The design features many different shapes that all mesh together in a great way that really works well. The circular patterns contrasted by the more squared parts of the building do a great job of making the building an eye catcher by anyone who may come across it
