Walt Disney Concert Hall
An undoubted highlight of stay in Los Angeles was a trip to the Walt Disney Concert Hall by architectural superstar Frank Gehry. Occupying a whole block atop Bunker Hill at the junction of Grand and First Street, the new concert hall is utterly spellbinding in its form. Nothing quite prepares you for the first sight of the buildings exuberant, swooping façade. Quite simply, I was left dumbstruck by the building’s breathtaking beauty. The stainless steel curves of the building twist and curve in the Californian sun, casting an intricate patina of shadows that change throughout the day.
