* On Sunday, “Warm, Dry, and Noble: The Philosophy of Samuel Mockbee” will be presented by a group of architects at the UCLA Hammer Museum. Mockbee was an architect whose teaching approach emphasized a connection between aesthetics, construction and community. He directed his students at Auburn University in Alabama to explore ideas that created something “warm, dry, and noble.”

Justin Patwin, graduate of the Auburn program, will be one of the speakers at the free lecture that begins at 3 p.m. The museum is at 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles. Information: (310) 443-7000; www. hammer.ucla.edu

The exhibition highlights more than 70 examples of Morris’ work, from stained-glass windows to printed and woven textiles. The Huntington is at 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino. Admission is $10. Information: (626) 405-2100; www.huntington.org.
