The history of Radiant Blinds can be traced back to 1890 when John Dean formed Deans Blinds in Putney. John had a considerable vision and traveled around the country selling his blinds and as the business progressed he had sales staff covering the whole of England, Wales, and Southern Ireland. John's sons Charles and Anthony Dean continued to run the company with Anthony branching out to form Radiant Blinds in 1955. Radiant originally started as a department with Deans to make Venetian blinds but now operates as an independent company designing, making, and fitting a vast range of blinds and awnings for both corporate and private clients. Radiant Blinds continues to be a family-run business from the Deans's family to the Atkinson family and now the Emerson family. It retains many of the traditional values with the incorporation of modern ideas and concepts. The management of Radiant Blinds respects each employee and will treat everyone fairly which creates a happy, harmonious, and productive environment to work in. It's a pretty lovely place to work really and a great team environment that is valued by us all.
a 367-foot (112 m), 33-story hotel in Los Angeles, California, constructed between 1974 and 1976.[6] It was designed by architect John C. Portman Jr.. The top floor has a revolving restaurant and bar. It was originally owned by investors that included a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi Corporation and John Portman & Associates. The building is managed by Aimbridge Hospitality (IHR), and is valued at $200 million.
The hotel and its architect John Portman have been the subject of several documentaries and academic analyses.[7][8]
Fredric Jameson discusses the hotel in his 1984 essay, "Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism," and in his 1991 book by the same name.[9][10] He writes that
the Bonaventura aspires to being a total space, a complete world, a kind of miniature city (and I would want to add that to this new total space corresponds a new collective practice, a new mode in which individuals move and congregate, something like the practice of a new and historically original kind of hyper-crowd).[11]
In his book Postmodern Geographies: The Reassertion of Space in Critical Social Theory (1989), Edward Soja describes the hotel as
a concentrated representation of the restructured spatiality of the late capitalist city: fragmented and fragmenting, homogeneous and homogenizing, divertingly packaged yet curiously incomprehensible, seemingly open in presenting itself to view but constantly pressing to enclose, to compartmentalize, to circumscribe, to incarcerate. Everything imaginable appears to be available in this micro-urb but real places are difficult to find, its spaces confuse an effective cognitive mapping, its pastiche of superficial reflections bewilder co-ordination and encourage submission instead. Entry by land is forbidding to those who carelessly walk but entrance is nevertheless encouraged at many different levels. Once inside, however, it becomes daunting to get out again without bureaucratic assistance. In so many ways, its architecture recapitulates and reflects the sprawling manufactured spaces of Los Angeles.[12]
The hotel is a 33-story building, with no floors numbered "7" or "13"; the top floor is therefore numbered "35". The four elevator banks (each containing three cars for a total of 12) are named by colors and symbols: Red Circle (the only one that goes to "35"; the other three only go to "32"), Yellow Diamond, Green Square, and Blue Triangle. The color-coded system of directions was a later addition, as visitors found the space confusing and hard to navigate.[13]
Several bronze plaques commemorate elevator scenes from three major films:
In the Line of Fire,[14][15] September 1993, "Green Square" elevator
True Lies,[15] September 1993, "Red Circle" and "Yellow Diamond" elevators
Forget Paris,[15] November 1994, "Yellow Diamond" elevator
It has been featured in many movies and television series over the years, including Interstellar,[16] Strange Days, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (as part of the city of New Chicago), Wonder Woman,[17] Blue Thunder, It's a Living,[18] Starsky & Hutch, L.A. Law, The A-Team, Breathless, Matlock, This Is Spinal Tap, Nick of Time,[19] Rain Man,[19][20] Ruthless People,[19] Logan's Run,[19] My Fellow Americans,[19] Midnight Madness, Moonlighting (TV series), Showtime, Hard to Kill, The Lincoln Lawyer, Chuck, Heaven Can Wait, Xanadu, The New Dragnet, Time After Time, Moby Dick,[21] Zoolander,[22] Lethal Weapon 2,[19] The Fantastic Journey[23][24] and was destroyed (via special effects) in Escape from LA, Epicenter and San Andreas. The front of the hotel was also featured in the British children’s television series Tots Tv ‘American Adventure’ special where Tilly, Tom and Tiny went to explore a different country and were observing tall buildings and went onto the roof of the hotel to observe the view of Los Angeles.[25] You can see it under construction in the 1975 film The Wilderness Family (released a year before the hotel opened). In cartoon form, the building can be seen in the first shot of Jem in the episode "The Beginning", and in the anime Steins;Gate. In November 1979, the ABC soap opera General Hospital videotaped some on location scenes there dealing with Luke Spencer, played by Anthony Geary who was hired to assassinate Senator Mitch Williams. In 1999, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy used the building as the administration building of the space colony Terra Venture, with Red Ranger Leo falling from the building after a battle with main villain Trakeena.
In 2002, the hotel was the location for a Fear Factor stunt which involved crossing a bridge of plexiglass discs on cables suspended on the lobby's fifth floor.[26] The television series It's a Living was set in a restaurant atop the Bonaventure. The hotel is also showcased in episodes of CSI and its exterior can be seen in Americathon, Mission: Impossible III, Almighty Thor, Hancock, and at the beginning of the Lionel Richie "Dancing on the Ceiling" music video. The building made appearances in the 1991 Kylie Minogue music video Step Back in Time, the 1985 Survivor music video "The Search Is Over", the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II (in the "Aftermath" multiplayer map) and in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V with the name "Arcadius Business Center" (having three towers instead of four towers and featuring glass elevator animations).
The hotel was also used as a setting for R&B singer Usher's music video for the 2002 hit single, "U Don't Have to Call". A pivotal scene in the season four (2005) episode "Another Mister Sloane" of the espionage drama Alias took place in the Bonaventure Hotel as well, while it was also featured in season one (2017), episode five of another espionage drama, Counterpart. In 2021, Rihanna's "Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 3" was filmed entirely on location at the hotel.[27][28] The hotel also hosted the first task for the final leg of The Amazing Race 33, which aired in 2022.[26]

I feel as though this picture investigates the element of value because of the gradient pastel sky. I feel as though the main subject matter of this picture is again, the beautiful pastel sky that looks like a painting, the colors of the sky warming the tones of the picture.
