Bucky or Lautner, either's a good show

Whether you're on the East or the West Coast, you've got fantastic options for heading out to a great architecture exhibition right now. With Buckminster Fuller: Starting With the Universe (through Sept. 21) at the Whitney in NYC and Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner (through October 12) at the Hammer Museum in LA, either one gets you an awesome exhibition of great mid-century architecture (and beyond).

If you're in NYC, you get to see the only existing Dymaxion!

If you're in LA, you get to see some of the greatest houses known to man.

Another exhibition worth mentioning, just a little further up the coast on the left is A Beautiful Nothing: The Architecture of Edward A. Killingsworth (through October 12) at Santa Barbara's University Art Museum. Man I love me some Killingsworth.
