Summary:

"Los Angeles Standards est un portrait photographique de Los Angeles qui présente la ville à travers 15 typologies ordinaires caractéristiques de son tissu urbain. 1300 photographies prises entre 2008 et 2012 par Caroline et Cyril Desroche, architectes français venus habiter et travailler à Los Angeles, sont présentées à la manière d'un documentaire. Organisées en chapitres, elles permettent d'établir des comparaisons, des analogies et des correspondances entre des archétypes tels que les freeways, les parkings, les rues, les chantiers, les billboards, les mini-malls, les habitations. Chacune de ces images est référencée par son adresse. Alors que Los Angeles s'engage dans un processus de forte densification de son existant et de transformation de ses infrastructures, ce livre est un témoignage visuel de son état actuel, de sa forme contemporaine et de son histoire urbaine."--Publisher
