The Equitable Building LA

Description
Hi everyone,

Sorry for the long wait, I'm currently back with some new buildings. I really hope you guys liked it. I made this building because I really like its simplistic design. I would update all new NYC buildings next, like a vintage Macy's, 5 times square and The world diamond tower. Thanks so much for your support.



About the building:

The Equitable Life Building is a 138 m (453 ft) International style skyscraper in the Koreatown neighborhood, of Los Angeles, California. It was completed in 1969 and has 34 floors. It is tied with the Los Angeles City Hall for the 26th tallest building in Los Angeles. Welton Becket & Associates designed the building for the Equitable Life Insurance Company. The facade is made of precast concrete that was sandblasted to expose the beige Texas limestone aggregate.

The lobby of the Equitable Life Building hosts art in its vitrines. This space is called Equitable Vitrines. These vitrines have hosted art including Jennifer Moon's Will You Still Love Me: Learning to Love Yourself, It Is The Greatest Gift of All in 2014-2015. In an interview with Ocula Magazine, Equitable Vitrines founders Ellie Lee and Matt Connolly explained that they realised through negotiations with the building's management, 'bureaucrats, artists, and tenants—each required a different way of thinking and speaking about what art is and what it can or should do.'

Since March 2, 2015, the Equitable Life Building has served as the chancery of the Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles, occupying part of its fifth floor.

This building has got a very similar appearance to the World Trade Centre ones

Love the midcentury International style here. Couple of gems in K-town, from the Wiltern to the high rise across from it!

the roof could use better textures
