Los Angeles has had more than its fair share of iconic one-of-a-kind buildings but on my Top 10 list would be the Pan Pacific Auditorium at 7600 Beverly Boulevard. Built in 1935, it was Streamline Moderne at its streamline-moderne-iest. As we can see here, the lines and curves are clean and simple and yet put together, they create an effect that both soars and gives a feeling of grounded solidity too. On my website, I have a collection of shots of the Pan Pacific: http://bit.ly/panpacauditorium
