description: 1997, oversize paperback, Thames &amp; Hudson, London, U.K. 176 pages, 150 illustrations (75 in color). The Getty Center, which was begun in 1983, was completed after 14 years of planning, design and construction.

This title includes site drawings of the structure and the Central Garden and is a splendid title, beautifully done.
