It's the start of another week in Los Angeles. If you're curious about where design-inclined folks are gathering around town, Archinect and Bustler have compiled a snappy list of local architecture and design events that are worth checking out.

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

500 Years of Utopia | Open now until February 9, recommended by Nicholas Korody

Utopian thinking orients much of the most radical thinking in architecture. But what exactly does it mean to strive for a "non-place"? Head over to USC to check out an exhibit that examines the history of "Utopia" and utopian thought—before it ends this week!

LACMA will debut a can't-miss retrospective of Hungarian artist/painter/influential Bauhaus teacher László Moholy-Nagy this Sunday. As the first U.S. retrospective of the artist in almost 50 years, the exhibition will showcase over 250 of his works—including some never-before-seen pieces and a large-scale installation of Room of the Present, which Moholy-Nagy first envisioned in 1930.

Focus Iran 2: Contemporary Photography and Video | Open now until May 7, recommended by Alexander Walter

The Craft and Folk Art Museum on Wilshire Boulevard presents a new exhibition that offers a glimpse into contemporary Iranian culture as captured by emerging and mid-career artists from both inside and outside the country.
