Résumé:
Far from the clichés of an L.A. lifestyle, where images of pools and palm trees gloss over urban reality, Wilshire Boulevard has served architectural realness throughout its historic development. Since the late nineteenth-century, when real estate magnate Henry Gaylord Wilshire donated to the city a strip of land to build the boulevard, Wilshire has functioned as the backdrop for L.A.’s urban life—a veritable stage of asphalt and concrete, simultaneously raw and theatrical.

Résumé:
In this book, Michael Truscello looks at the industrial infrastructure not as an invisible system of connectivity and mobility that keeps capitalism humming in the background but as a manufactured miasma of despair, toxicity, and death. Truscello terms this ''infrastructural brutalism''—a formulation that not only alludes to the historical nexus of infrastructure and the concrete aesthetic of Brutalist architecture but also describes the ecological, political, and psychological brutality of industrial infrastructures.

Résumé:
The term Brutalism is used to describe a form of architecture that appeared, mainly in Europe, from around 1945–1975.

Some regarded Brutalist buildings as monstrous soulless structures of concrete, steel, and glass, whereas others saw the genre as a logical progression, having its own grace and balance.
