It's back to the grind with a new season of architecture and design events. Wondering where other design-inclined folks are gathering in the Greater L.A. area? Archinect and Bustler compiled a snappy list of noteworthy happenings around town that are worth checking out.

Check back regularly so you don't miss out on our latest event recommendations. Here are this week's L.A. picks.

Come see Sharon Johnston, Michael Maltzan, and François Perrin discuss architecture and its relationship to MOCA's concurrent exhibition, Doug Aitken: Electric Earth. Their varied niches in the world of architecture will no doubt strike thought-provoking tangential notes to Aitken's work, and enrich the exhibition's experience overall.

Always wondered what the spaces look like that the big names in architecture call home? Well, don't miss the Los Angeles premiere of Francesca Molteni's film “Where Architect’s Live” and take an intimate peek into the hallowed halls of Zaha Hadid, Shigeru Ban, Daniel Libeskind, David Chipperfield, Mario Bellini, Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas, Marcio Kogan, and Bijoy Jain/Studio Mumbai.
