Le Getty Center est un campus culturel et de recherche situé à Los Angeles, dans l'État de Californie. Le bâtiment a été réalisé par l'architecte Richard Meier sur une colline de Brentwood. On y trouve une partie du J. Paul Getty Museum (dont l'autre site est la Villa Getty), ainsi que le Getty Research Institute et le Getty Conservation Institute. Le Getty Center a ouvert le 16 décembre 1997. D'un coût estimé à un milliard de dollars, la construction de l'ensemble du site s'est étalée sur douze ans, de 1985 à 1997. Le centre est composé de six bâtiments couvrant une surface de 88.200 m2. Richard Meier, l'architecte, a voulu donner au site l'allure d'« un village italien dans les collines ». Le musée comprend des expositions de sculpture et d'art classique, de peintures européennes, de dessins, manuscrits, arts décoratifs et de photographies. Dans le but de respecter les intentions de Getty, le musée ne présente pas d'œuvres d'art des 20e siècle ou 21e siècles, avec pour seule exception la photographie. Le musée Getty possède environ 800 000 livres sur l'art.

From 1940 to 1990, Los Angeles rapidly evolved into one of the most populous and influential industrial, economic, and creative capitals in the world. During this era, the region was transformed into a laboratory for cutting-edge architecture. Overdrive: L.A. Constructs the Future, 1940—1990 examines these experiments and their impact on modern design, reframes the perceptions of Los Angeles’s dynamic built environment, and amplifies the exploration of the city’s vibrant architectural legacy. The drawings, models, and images highlighted in the Overdrive exhibition and catalogue reveal the complex and often underappreciated facets of Los Angeles and illustrate how the metropolis became an internationally recognized destination with a unique design vocabulary, canonical landmarks, and a coveted lifestyle. This investigation builds upon the groundbreaking work of generations of historians, theorists, curators, critics, and activists who have researched and expounded upon the development of Los Angeles. In this volume, thought-provoking essays shed more light on the exhibition’s narratives, including Los Angeles’s physical landscape, the rise of modernism, the region’s influential residential architecture, its buildings for commerce and transportation, and architects’ pioneering uses of bold forms, advanced materials, and new technologies. Los Angeles’s ability to facilitate change, experiment, recalibrate, and forge ahead is one of its greatest strengths. Future generations are destined to harness the region’s enviable resources to create new layers of architectural innovations.
