This past weekend, the Beverly Hills Film Festival featured The Oyler House: Richard Neutra's Desert Retreat, about the 1959 post and beam house built by "working-class government employee" Richard Oyler in the tiny Inyo County town of Lone Pine. Architect Richard Neutra was already mega-famous by the late '50s, but loved the site so much that he agreed to the tiny …

Fresh off a very successful route to the ocean, CicLAvia announced that it's next linear block party for bikers, walkers, and other non-drivers will run along Wilshire Boulevard, from Downtown to the Miracle Mile. That's kinda something, isn't it?: for a few hours anyway, they're kicking cars off of one of LA's most prominent symbols of car culture. (The Miracle Mile …

BALDWIN HILLS: The Baldwin Hills Scenice Overlook gets its very own experimental music composition sound., debuting this Sunday at (obvs) the BHSO. The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound commissioned the piece by Australia and Norway-based MURAL, who will perform with a group of local musicians (and a fellow from South Carolina). More info here. [Curbed …

[Photos by Elizabeth Daniels] French artist Xavier Veilhan (with curator/architect Francois Perrin) has delightfully messed with yet another classic piece of modern Los Angeles architecture (see the Neutra VDL Research House adorned with silhouettes and sculptures and Case Study House #21 filled with smoke): Last week, Veilhan made a few additions to the sexy/dangerous Sheats-Goldstein House in Beverly Crest, designed by the …

[LACMA via LACMA; tar pits via Wikipedia] Pritzker-winning architect Peter Zumthor and ambitious LACMA head Michael Govan have big plans to completely redesign the eastern side of LACMA's Miracle Mile campus and more and more details are starting to come out ahead of an exhibition (opening June 9) that'll showcase the plan. Today LA Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne dishes yet more …

[Left image via Architect's Newspaper; right image via LACMA] Before Michael Govan even agreed to take over as head of LACMA in 2006, he called Pritzker-winning architect Peter Zumthor in "a phone call that he believed would forever change the way art museums engage the public in the 21st century." Since then, the pair have been working together on a …

[Alpha drawing via Arts & Architecture] Yes, you can now have your very own, brand spanking new, freshly-built house designed by mid-century modern master Richard Neutra--the Neutra Office (and Neutra's son Dion, a partner) has teamed up with the California Architecture Conservancy to offer the architect's plans for license. According to a press release, "For the price of what one would customarily …

VENICE: The LA Conservancy is celebrating the oft-maligned modern architecture of the 19790s and '80s with, among other things, a tour this Saturday of Venice highlights from Frank Gehry, Frank Israel, Brian Hopper, Steven Ehrlich and Chuck Arnoldi (including Dennis Hopper's house). There'll also be a panel discussion with some of the architects and there's a related Instagram photo contest (Curbed's …

WESTWOOD: An emailer is curious what's up with this house on the east side of Malcolm Avenue between Weyburn Le Conte: "I've only seen one window, facing South on the second floor." Anyone? Our guess is design-Nazi vampires. [Curbed Inbox] THE VALLEY: A tipster tell us that a judge today ordered that 20 more of LA's digital billboards be shut off (about …

The first week of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival brought a fancy air-conditioned dance tent, R. Kelly, and a sandstorm to the crowds of the Empire Polo Fields in Indio. The art of Coachella may be an afterthought to many revelers, but it's reliably impressive to those sober enough to pay attention--this year's highlight was "Mirage," a 100-foot-long, 40-foot-tall, …

After dismissing LA's unimpressive public architecture, Greg Goldin pens a love letter to our ugly architecture: "Outwardly, it appears messy, even ugly, especially to outsiders. It is also what gives our city its life and vitality. Without this percolating, mutable, and, yes, frustrating form, Los Angeles would be a city with less visual clutter--and a far duller place." [Zocalo, image via] …

On the death of Bahooka, the great Tiki-themed restaurant in Rosemead (its remains will go to the renovated Clifton's on Broadway!), Alan Hess considers why SoCal loves the kitsch so much: "Its aesthetic is the opposite of what most experts insist is important about Midcentury Modern Southern California architecture …. Yet Tiki had something in common with Southern California Modernist luminaries: …

Dodger Stadium has just gotten a huge makeover, but it's still the same old place it was when it opened in 1962, and at the LA Review of Books, architecture critic Sam Lubell gives his appreciation: "I love that approaching the place feels a bit like stepping back in time, back to a very specific midcentury Los Angeles when technology was …

[Guideline images via A/N] LA could finally get itself some design standards for new development! While architects have to adhere to zoning rules that govern stuff like height and setbacks, so far the city hasn't had any blanket rules for how a building should actually look. Earlier this month, the City Council's Planning and Land Use Management Committee held its first public …

Tim Ross 'Man About the House' from Toby Morris on Vimeo. LOS ANGELES: "Comedy" and "mid-century modern architecture" seem like kind of an odd couple (unless the comedian is, like, Danny Kaye), but Australian MCM-lover/comedian Tim Ross is now traveling the world performing his show "Man About the House" exclusively in modern houses. (He says it's "almost like coming to a …

Early plans are in the works for a major upgrade of Long Beach's mostly-reviled Civic Center--the city council recently approved a request for qualifications from developers interested in upgrading the Brutalist structure envisioned by Hugh and Don Gibbs in the '70s; the building apparently was greeted warmly at its 1977 opening, and the latter in the father-son architecture team stands by …

In Beautiful Losers, Curbed documents the great Los Angeles architecture that can't seem to find the right buyer. Previously: John Lautner's Schaffer Residence. Nominations to the tipline please. [Photos by Elizabeth Daniels] Somehow, designer Rodney Walker's old personal residence up in Ojai manages to be both dizzyingly lovely and nearly invisible--there's so much greenery and glass in the house that it hardly feels …

HISTORIC CORE: Last week, the Farmers & Merchants Bank Building in the Old Bank District hosted 2013's Canstruction LA, where architects pull out all their best kung fu to make elaborate structures out of cans (which are donated to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank at the end of the show).
