Ice Cube expounds on Eameses, Architecture

DateFriday, December 9, 2011 at 05:12PM

Best line delivered in front of the Eames Case Study House in Pacific Palisades, CA, probably ever: "This is going green 1949-style, bitch! Believe that." That's some truth, Cube.

Part of a series of videos put together in support of Pacific Standard Time, the ongoing survey of 20th century SoCal arts and culture, it's full of revelations. Did  you know Ice Cube studied architectural drafting before becoming a rapper?

If you're in LA and have the chance, I highly recommend the "California Design, 1930-1965: 'Living in a Modern Way'" exhibit at LACMA, which features a full-sized reproduction of the Eames living room, complete with furniture and decor from the actual house.
