The New York Review of Architecture heads west to LA, and with that change of place introduces a coyote mascot to join the New York rat across its pages and a green to replace its trademark second colour yellow.

Aside from that change of location, the issue features a familiar mix of opiniated columns, essays, criticism and more: how LA is dealing with the presence of Waymo driverless taxis on its streets, a look at the potential effects of the wildfires on the Altadena district of the city, and the extremes of advertising to be found to day on Sunset Strip—once a barometer of west coast cool, now an ‘open air media lab intended to replenish West Hollywood’s coffers amid uncertain economic times.’
