Line In Architecture

"People come here with the idea that they're going to a museum with works of art on the inside, but they're really visiting a work of art with a museum inside."
In this photo to the right is the Getty museum in Los Angeles, California. The famous architect awarded for this masterpiece is Richard Meier. The Getty museum is a work of art inspired by the twentieth-century modernism. The complex is based on a 30-inch square grid that runs from one building to the next without deviation. There are many elements used in this architecture but the most apparent is the implied lines. http://gocalifornia.about.com/cs/losangeles/a/gettyarchit.htm
