Gangsta modernism: Actor and rap icon Ice Cube tours the Eames House, the landmark of mid-20th century modern architecture designed by husband and wife design pioneers Charles and Ray Eames. The sleek and functional home is built into the side of a bluff in the Pacfic Palisades.

Thanks for this post. My appreciation for L.A. just got a big boost.
