Description
"The Getty occupies a hilly site jutting from the mountains. The program brings the seven components of the Getty Trust into a coherent unity, while maintaining their individual identities. Buildings are organized along two ridges in the topography which correspond to the freeway." -http://www.richardmeier.com/ Keywords: views, exhibitions and exhibition structures, outdoor spaces, United States, modern, glass, masonry, stone, construction, California, Los Angeles County, travertine.
