  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.

Denari Architects, Eric Owen Moss and artist Peter Alexander.&nbsp; <strong></strong>

  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.

  5. 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.
