Eight-Tower Tour.

Los Angeles continues to nurture its reputation for innovative building with the Museum of Contemporary Art's "What's Shakin': New Architecture in LA," a multimedia tour of eight major projects in progress. Featured architects include Frank Gehry, Eric Owen Moss, and Michael Maltzan, all playing at the top of their games; out-of-towners Rem Koolhaas and Rafael Moneo are likewise at work on their favorite subjects (upscale shopping and large-scale religion, respectively). Organized by MOCA architecture and design curator Brooke Hodge, the two-part show opens September 16 at the Pacific Design Center (through Dec. 30) and the Geffen Contemporary (through Jan. 20).
