...morning. Minister, choir and organ perch atop the projection booth or a makeshift stage, and the sermon is piped into cars through window speakers. Among the most impressive of several new churches specially built for drive-in congregations are Schuller's Garden Grove Community Church (designed by Richard Neutra) and the glass-walled Trinity Reformed Church in Kent, Wash., which will accommodate up to 300 people in cars parked outside. Both Garden Grove and Trinity Reformed also serve worshipers seated in the nave...
...architecture as California gaudy or Hollywood vulgar or Spanish phony. While Los Angeles, like many big cities, has mile after mile of uninspired, tractlike homes, more and more of its buildings and residences are the work of some of the world's best architects: Richard J. Neutra, John Lautner, Lloyd Wright, William Pereira, Victor Gruen, Welton Becket.

Neutra's pioneering (1940) Crow Island Elementary School in Winnetka, 111. did away with fixed seats and high ceilings. Architect Mario J. Ciampi's prizewinning Westmoor High School (1958) in Daly City near San Francisco is big, stunning architecture: shimmering glass, enamel murals, barrel-vaulted roof. Grabbing whatever space is left to schools, other designs march ingeniously up and down hillsides. New hexagonal and pentagonal structures reach out for sun and air, proclaiming...
