Modernism Enthusiasts to Tour UC San Diego's Mid-Century Architecture


SAN DIEGO – Modernist Architecture committees from Save Our Heritage
Organisation and
San Diego Architecture Foundation have joined forces to present the first event
celebrating
UC San Diego's modernist architecture. "Masters of San Diego Modern
Architecture: Muir
College, UCSD" is the first of several such forums and tours of post-War
architecture atop
the La Jolla mesa. Modern architecture enthusiasts will gather together on
Saturday,
September 30th to view the modernist structures on the Muir College campus and
hear
from several of the original architects.

"What seems like a class reunion of San Diego prominent architects from the
1960s, this
event will be a lasting statement that San Diego is an important place on the
country's
post-war architectural map," stated Keith York, SOHO Modernism Committee Member.
The
day's activities include a slideshow of vintage and more recent photographs, a
panel
discussion with several of the project's architects and a walking tour of the
unique cluster
of buildings all by San Diego firms Mosher & Drew, Frank L. Hope & Associates,
Liebhardt
& Weston, Dale Naegle & Associates and Richard George Wheeler & Associates.
