For more than three decades, LPA Inc. has been designing award-winning architecture throughout California - buildings that are rooted in the history, environment, and values of the people who use them. LPA believes that design is a collaborative process. By taking the time to listen and explore ideas, the firm gains a profound understanding of the client's dreams as well as practicalities of program and budget. From this open-ended, creative dialogue comes public and private projects that each embody a distinctive cultural "narrative" unique to its site. Schools, community centres, public librairies, churches, corporate headquarters, shopping malls - every building LPA designs tells a story about its users, fostering a deeper awareness of community identity. This book celebrates eleven of the many uniquely tailored solutions that LPA has developed for public and private clients: One Venture Kubota Tractor Corporation San Marcos Town Centre DWP Telecommunications Headquarters AMTRAK Commuter Station Anaheim Plaza California State University Chancellor's Office Tarbut V'torah Community Day School Mission Viejo Library Mossimo Corporate Headquarters The Chapel at Lake Hills Community Church Saddleback Valley Community Church
