VENICE: The LA Conservancy is celebrating the oft-maligned modern architecture of the 19790s and '80s with, among other things, a tour this Saturday of Venice highlights from Frank Gehry, Frank Israel, Brian Murphy, Steven Ehrlich and Chuck Arnoldi (including Dennis Hopper's house). There'll also be a panel discussion with some of the architects and there's a related Instagram photo contest (Curbed's own photographer Elizabeth Daniels is a judge). All the tour details are here.
