ot every building is going to be a star. But that's OK because the built environment needs ditch diggers, too... so to speak. In the world of downtown Los Angeles buildings, this parking garage digs ditches.
{HumanName} squats on its plot as a dark presence in a part of downtown already deprived of light by other buildings. To make things worse, its facade is covered by black glass panels, making things even darker. There are a few interesting architectural tidbits, though. Most notably the chamfered corners lined with light-colored stone which contrast with the rest of the facade. This feature is inherited from its father, the stately Aon Center to which it is connected by an underground tunnel.
