If you're in LA and you have a couple of free hours between now and October 12th, go see this. Since I don't know anything at all about architecture, the plans that were on display went totally over my head. But getting to see models of John Lautner's works and images of the interiors of the homes he has designed was absolutely amazing. Lautner certainly seems to have had his critics, but to them I say this: dudes, it's not an embodiment of Hollywood excess if it's shaped like an OCTAGON, and it's not dystopic if the structure is covered in windows with GALLONS of sunlight flooding in.
My affection for architecture is barely budding, but apparently I will pull a gat on you if you mess with one of three architects I can actually name off the top of my head.
