Bill Tatham, from the Sausalito office, was assisting with the student program in Los Angeles last week when he snapped this iconic image. And while there are many standout attractions in LA, Dodger Stadium is truly in a league of its own. Even those who are not baseball fanatics will appreciate the sensual qualities of this special place. Says writer Eric Brightwell in his architectural account of the classic monument: “I was particularly taken with the landscaping, which has an unmistakably modern look with its emphasis on drought tolerant plants. The succulents and other hearty plants simultaneously look strange and fitting in the concrete 1960s saucer-pod planters.”
Read about the rest of Brightwell’s tour following the venue’s recent restoration, in “Exploring Dodger Stadium Without Baseball.”
