An LA Landmark Gets a Facelift Next month MOCA will open " Skin and Bones ," a fascinating look at the "parallel practices" in contemporary architecture and fashion. Meantime, drawing inspiration from Japanese designers, LACMA mounts " Breaking the Mode ," an exhibit of iconoclastic clothing that has challenged convention. Plus, LA's Griffith Observatory gets a facelift, and actor-director Peter Weller on his favorite building in Los Angeles.
