Paul Williams designed the building in 1961 as part of the overall airport redesign. Williams was a genius architect that defined the Los Angeles style of the 1950s and 1960s. It may be easy to write the building off as Googie or Jetsons-esque, but it’s an elegant structure and the only thing at LAX that isn’t stressful or depressing.

I love 60s era “space age” designs (from architecture to interior decorating, all of it). There’s something so optimistic and forward thinking about it all.
