Ocean Ave in Santa Monica (esp. around the pier-area) is a great place to go to if you enjoy the con­trary of man­made modern, well-struc­tured archi­tecture and the natural roughness of the sea.

not about architecture but strate­gically building and develop­ing properties is the Settlers of Catan. in the multi­player board game, first published in 1995 in Germany, the players slip into the roles of settlers who trade resources (lumber, brick, ore, wool, and grain) to grow their civiliza­tions. for the latter, the settlers get points; the first player who reaches 10 victory points is the winner. Catan has been translated into 30 languages and was inspiration for video games, novels and an upcoming TV adaption.
