I like the way his architecture look, and how he uses the colour of his acrhitcetur fits in well with the weather. i love the style of the top right picture, i love the detail of his architecture and i like the patton of the arch of the entrance (in the top picture) also the buildings have a spanish look.

US Bank Tower

DRAGON WARS 

 


(this is the story line of the film from wiki)
The story follows the adventures of Ethan Kendrick, charged in his childhood by Jack to protect the Yeouiju, an individual born able to change an Imoogi into a Celestial Dragon. To this end, Jack gives Ethan a medallion formerly belonging to Haram and reveals that the Yeouiju is Sarah, whom Ethan will find in Los Angeles.
15 years after this revelation, a corrupt Imoogi identified as "Buraki" invades the city, bent on capturing Sarah; whereupon Ethan, now a televised-news anchor, rescues her, conveys the knowledge of her purpose, and attempts to save her from Buraki. During the resulting chase, Buraki's "Artox Army" enters the city and engages the United States Army, the United States Air Force, and the Los Angeles Police Department in battle. Here, the Atrox Army is shown to consist of black-armored, humanoid warriors; theropod-like cavalry called "Shaconnes"; small, winged Western dragons called "Bulcos"; and immense, slow-moving reptiles carrying rocket-launchers on their backs, identified in the dialogue as "Dawdlers". This army overwhelms the human forces, while Ethan and Sarah escape. They are subsequently captured by the Bulcos and taken to a menacing fortress in the midst of a darkened desert landscape. There, Ethan's medallion destroys the Artox Army; but Buraki attempts to consume Sarah, whereupon he is attacked by the Good Imoogi. Having won the fight, Buraki again approaches Sarah; but having offered herself to him, she instead gives her power to the Good Imoogi (apparently losing her own life in the process), who thereupon becomes the Celestial Dragon and destroys Buraki.
After Buraki is destroyed, Sarah dissolves into a spirit form, and the Celestial Dragon permits Sarah to speak to Ethan, whom she promises to "love... for all eternity"; then withdraws Sarah into his body and ascends to the heavens. Immediately Jack appears behind Ethan, reminds him that the two of them "have been given a great honor" to take part in this transformation, and vanishes; presumably never to be seen again. Ethan's own fate is not revealed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-War

the Graumans's Chinese Theatre was built in the 1927 and it follows in the foot steps of the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre which was built in 1922. the owns are the Chinese theatres LLC. it is the LA historic-cultural monument.
I enjoyed this work because it is cultural to the Chinese, i like the decoration of how he designed it. i would us his work in mine an use cultural themes with my work. 



Grauman's Egyptian Theatre



 You can see the resemblance of the both cultures, in the architecture and the interior, i love both cultures and the style of architecture. I would use there style of work as an inspiration to my work.
