Reassessing Reyner Banham’s famous book on Los Angeles as it turns 50

The British architectural historian and critic Reyner Banham’s Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies, published in 1971, earned great acclaim and wide readership for its deft and surprisingly upbeat analysis of post-war Los Angeles. Few books have more powerfully shaped how the world thinks about the architecture, built environment and creative culture of Southern California. Five decades on, how does the book hold up? What were its blind spots and what proved to be its strengths? What do we make now of its four ecologies, which in Banham’s view could explain all of L.A. (Surfurbia, for the beach; Autopia, for the freeways and car culture; The Foothills, for the hills and canyons; and the Plains of Id, for the flatlands and wide L.A. basin)? How well has that structure aged? This panel of experts in architecture, urban design and criticism will examine those questions — and, in the interest of looking forward as well as back, nominate four more ecologies to help us make sense of 21st century L.A.
