Ojai: A Postcard History

Type: LECTURE
Date: 7/16/2011
Time: 1:00PM
Location: Santa Monica Public Library
Address: 601 Santa Monica Blvd.
Santa Monica , California

Join SAH/SCC on Saturday, July 16th, 2011, at 1PM at the Santa Monica Public Library (Moore Ruble Yudell, 2006) for a lecture and slide presentation on the architecture of Ojai. Craig Walker, former SAH/SCC Board Member and co-author of the new book Ojai: A Postcard History (Arcadia, 2010), will share images and insights about the architecture of Ojai, past and present.

The presentation will draw heavily from Ojai's legacy of Mission Revival architecture and feature the work of such architects as Mead and Requa, Wallace Neff, Carlton Winslow, Arthur B. Benton, Robert Stacy-Judd, Arthur C. Martin, Roy Wilson, George Washington Smith, Julia Morgan, and J. Cleveland Cady. Emphasis will be given to rarely seen or lost commercial and institutional buildings documented through postcards.

The book project was organized by the Ojai Valley Museum, with many of the postcards coming from its own extensive collection. Collectors living in the Ojai Valley also donated to the project.

Craig Walker is a life-long resident of Ojai and the son of Case Study House architect Rodney Walker. His lecture is sure to offer an insider's view of this very special California community. The new book, Ojai: A Postcard History, will be available at the event for sale and signing by the author.

Ojai: A Postcard History: Saturday, July 16th, 2011; 1PM; Martin Luther King, Jr. Auditorium, Santa Monica Public Library, Main Library, 601 Santa Monica Blvd.; free; 310.458.8600.

The Critical Moment: Architecture in the Expanded Field

Thursday, September 15, 2011

through Saturday, November 05, 2011

Cooper Union

The Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery

7 East 7th Street

New York, New York

Debuting in the Houghton Gallery at Cooper Union, graduates of the Master of Architecture II Program will have their innovative 2011 thesis projects on display in "The Critical Moment: Architecture in the expanded field." The show, which is free, marks the first public viewing of the Master students' work. Without prescribed boundaries, the projects address a myriad of critical issues shaping today's architectural discourse, ranging from urban theory to the present condition of globalization and the continual emergence of new scientific developments and technologies. The exhibition illuminates the graduates' year-long extensive research using literature, photography, drawing, technology, history and urban studies to develop innovative programs, all of which feature configurations and narratives that bring forth potential solutions that may not be obvious to the viewer.

In 2009, the Master of Architecture (M.Arch. II) enrolled its first class and provides graduate students with an innovative approach and experience to a studio-based, design research post-professional degree. Open to applicants with a first professional degree in architecture, students are challenged to push the frontiers of design and form critical responses to modern and contemporary issues in the practice and theory of architecture.
