Big and brash, Watts Towers breathe L.A.

摘要

At once a fanciful, outsize sculpture and a skillfully engineered architectural construction, the Watts Towers rise majestically above the bleak landscape of South Los Angeles. The product of an extreme act of dedication and determination, the towers' survival owes much to the same spirit, shared by preservationists, community groups, and curators who have worked over the decades to save what is now a National Historic Landmark.
