"Eric Owen Moss - Recent Works" is the third in a series of monographs featuring the works of contemporary architects by the Planet Architecture Series. 

The buildings and projects included in this e-archive comprise Eric Owen Moss' work in Culver City and Central Los Angeles.
Since 1986, Moss has collaborated with Frederick and Laurie Samitaur Smith and their company Samitaur Constructs to revitalize an industrial tract development that the Smiths call "Conjunctive Points."

Once the site of abandoned sheds and warehouses, the area is now home to digital, new-media, entertainment, and dot-com companies as well as a dance studio, outdoor musical performances, and the greatest concentration of works by Moss.

Now that these efforts have reached critical mass, this Planet Architecture edition examines both Moss' architecture and the Smiths urban objectives for Culver City and Los Angeles.
