A shopping mall like no other, this was designed by Frank Gehry, whose signature LA work is Walt Disney Concert Hall. It's a relatively early design of his from the 1980s, but you'll see signature poured-in-place concrete, metal fencing and a soaring tower. Grab a coffee or ice cream at Peet's or Ben & Jerry's and grab a seat to contemplate around the fountain in the courtyard.
