| dc.description | General view looking up, showing the twin towers, looking west, with 2000 Avenue of the Stars in view at the lower center; Commissioned by Alcoa, the towers were completed in 1975 and designed by Minoru Yamasaki. The towers resemble his World Trade Center in their vertical black and gray lines and use of aluminum exteriors. The towers have a somewhat unique (equilateral) triangular footprint and are landmarks that are clearly seen around the Los Angeles Westside.
