  1. Homes by Frank Gehry, Eric Owen Moss, Neil Denari open for tour

    "Tip the world on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles," Frank Lloyd Wright reportedly said. That looseness -- a spirit of experimentation, a refusal to be bound by convention -- will be on display June 23 when the <a href="http://www.makcenter.org/"><span class="runtimeTopic">MAK Center</span> for Art and Achitecture </a>hosts a tour of groundbreaking modern homes by <a>Frank Gehry</a>, Neil M. Denari Architects, Eric Owen Moss and artist Peter Alexander.&nbsp; <strong></strong>

  2. Le Corbusier as a force for nature?

    NEW YORK &mdash; It's easy to imagine that "Le Corbusier: An Atlas of Modern Landscapes," a vast, dense and beautifully installed new exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, began as a kind of parlor game. You can almost picture the curators, Jean-Louis Cohen and Barry Bergdoll, brainstorming to come up with the most unlikely, counterintuitive thesis about Le Corbusier they could &mdash; and then setting out to defend it with straight faces, deep scholarship and a good deal of museological firepower.

  3. Found: R.M. Schindler's hidden church

    Rudolph Schindler is L.A.'s prototypical Modernist architect. His house on King's Road (the MAK Center now) is a public monument. Design magazines gush over Schindler restorations. <a href="http://la.curbed.com/">Curbed LA</a>, online, tracks the Schindler real estate market. And the great architect's fans follow his trail from the Hollyhock House (he supervised its creation for Frank Lloyd Wright) to the Bubeshko Apartments in Silver Lake to the Wolfe House on Catalina Island (before it was demolished), like pilgrims following the stations of the cross. But there is a local Schindler they might very well have missed: Bethlehem Baptist Church on the corner of Compton Avenue and 49th Street.

  4. Review: '10 Buildings That Changed America' is a rewarding tour

    The new PBS program "10 Buildings That Changed America" is nothing if not efficient.

  5. TV Picks: 'Family Tree,' 'Nashville,' '10 Buildings,' 'The Middle'

    <strong>"Family Tree" (HBO, premieres Sunday).</strong> Christopher Guest has made you a TV series. Thank him. The director of "A Mighty Wind" and "Best in Show" and one of the forces behind and in "This Is Spinal Tap" -- in which he was Nigel Tufnel, whose amplifier went to 11 and whose guitar you were not to touch or even to look at -- Guest has been an architect of modern comedy, from the improvised dialogue that marks his films to the documentary style in which most have been shot. Its sound is his sound, its look his look. (Ricky Gervais owes him his career, if we are to consider that career based on "The Office"; "Parks &amp; Recreation" could almost be Guest's own work.) In the wonderful "Family Tree," hangdog Chris O'Dowd ("Bridesmaids," "The IT Crowd"), finding his life stalled after losing a girlfriend and a job in short order, goes in search of his roots and relatives. It's a trip that takes him into the theater, a boxing club, England's rural north, the back end of pantomime horse and finally to America. Michael McKean, a regular member of Guest's repertory company, plays Tom's father; Nina Conti his troubled ventriloquist sister. Jim Piddock, another Guest player, co-wrote the series and also appears in it, as Tom's antique-dealing downstairs neighbor. Familiar faces Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, Ed Begley Jr. and Amy Seimetz will also arrive in due time.

  8. Paolo Soleri dies at 93; architect of innovative city Arcosanti

    Paolo Soleri, an Italian-born architect who created a visionary prototype for a new kind of ecologically sensitive city in the remote Arizona desert four decades ago, only to watch the suburban sprawl he detested begin to creep near it in recent years, has died. He was 93.

  9. Southern California architecture: the missing early years from PSTP

    Two years ago, when the Getty Trust helped organize and fund more than five dozen exhibits on 20th century art in Los Angeles, a massive enterprise it labeled "Pacific Standard Time," it wasn't difficult to guess which era the museum would focus on. It was clearly going to be the postwar period, and the 1950s, '60s and '70s in particular.

  11. With modern architecture spotlighted, PST series looks beyond landmarks

    There's sure to be much to pore over in "Overdrive: L.A. Constructs the Future, 1940-1990," the ambitious anchor show of the Getty's Pacific Standard Time series on modern architecture in and around Los Angeles. But it's on the periphery of this giant undertaking, which is funding nine major exhibitions and will sprawl across the calendar from early spring to midsummer, where the real surprises are most likely to be found. That's especially true of the shows aiming to look beyond well-known midcentury landmarks and reassess the work of the L.A. architects who emerged in the 1960s and '70s and challenged orthodox modernism in a range of ways.

  12. Proposed tower for Phoenix resembles Apple Maps' drop pin

    An observation tower that has been proposed as a landmark for downtown Phoenix is being dubbed the "Big Pin" because of its likeness to that of the drop pins used in the iPhone's Apple Maps app.
