About the Company
Called "L.A.'s Invisible Builder" by the Los Angeles Times, Welton Becket was a pioneer of modern architecture, and one of Los Angeles' most influential architects, being a major key player in introducing modern architecture to Los Angeles. Starting in the 1950s, his firm single-handedly tripled the number of buildings on the UCLA campus in Westwood over the span of a decade, giving the old Renaissance-Revival campus a sleek new look of brick and steel. In 1956 he built the legendary Columbia Records tower in Hollywood, which instantly became an icon of the area. Starting in the 1960s, Becket peppered the Los Angeles area with sleek, minimalist International Style buildings, which would come to define the look of L.A. for nearly three decades. In recent years, as some of his buildings have started coming under the bulldozer, preservation efforts have sprung up to save his influential and defining works.
