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 recommendations. 

This week's LA recommendations start off with a Hitoshi Abe lecture at the UCLA A.UD and a new survey on artist Peter Shire's design work at the MOCA Pacific Design Center. The Getty Center's upcoming exhibition “Berlin / Los Angeles: Space for Music” spotlights Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall and Hans Scharoun's Berlin Philharmonic, while The Broad will debut its four-month “Oracle” installation — which visualizes the effects of globalization in contemporary society.

“In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the sister-city partnership between Berlin and Los Angeles, this Getty Center exhibition explores two iconic buildings: the Berlin Philharmonic (1963) designed by Hans Scharoun, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall (2003) in Los Angeles, designed by Frank Gehry. It demonstrates how both buildings were pivotal in fostering a strong resonance between architecture and the city.”
