Long Range Development Plan- 1963
subject: University of California, Santa Barbara
description: This long range plan was produced by executive architect Charles Luckman Associates. It shows a very concentrated build-up of academic buildings and residence halls, as well as expansion along El Collegio Road. The extension of Highway 217 along the north side of campus, along with the addition of more Married Student Housing and the concentration of fraternities and sororities on campus are main differences with earlier plans. With large parking lots outlining the periphery, the interior of the campus remains easily reachable on foot.

Long Range Development Plan- 1975
subject: University of California, Santa Barbara
description: The long range plan from 1975 shows a much greater concern for the adjacent community of Isla Vista. A larger concentration of university buildings is shown in the 'loop' area, as well as trees and pedestrian-friendly boulevards. Unlike the 1963 plan, the 1975 does not include an expansion of Highway 217 through the slough to the north of the campus mesa. The increase in environmental awareness after the 1969 oil spill in the Santa Barbara Channel changed the plans to be more eco-friendly.

Long Range Plan-- 1990
subject: University of California, Santa Barbara
description: This birds eye view of campus shows the build-out of the land in 1990. Many of the original WWII buildings still remain, and the vehicle flow around the perimeter of campus is greatly reduced from the earlier plans. The large expanse of surface parking lots along the western edge of campus were eventually replaced with the Student Resource Building, Parking Structure #22, and the Education and Social Sciences buildings. Additionally, the wide expanse of open field just to the north of Robertson Gymnasium has been filled in with multiple recreational facilities and practice fields. This map shows a particular instance in time, before the large building boom of the '90s, where large surface parking lots dominate the landscape, and open space existed along the perimeter of the campus.

The red tile roofs, white stucco walls, and wooden balconies and gazebos throughout the complex gave it the feel of a small Spanish town. The same style is also echoed in the Santa Ynez apartments just to the south, and the San Clemente villages, to the southeast.

The Arts buildings were clustered towards the Cliff Drive side of campus, while the Science buildings were closer to the ocean. Dormitories and a student union were in the area of the SBCC west campus, with a large amphitheater and tennis courts along Loma Alta Drive. The football stadium had been built in 1940, and other athletic buildings were added to the area below the mesa, along with 'beach sports' on west beach, and 'yachting' in the harbor.

Institute of Theoretical Physics-- Kohn Hall floor plan
subject: University of California, Santa Barbara
description: This is an early floor plan of the original building for Kohn Hall, designed by Michael Graves. The Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics is a world-renown research facility where physicists meet to collaborate on cutting edge research and theoretical questions. The scientists come to UCSB for extended periods of time (anywhere from one week to many months) to meet and discuss new problems in the field. The Kohn Building was originally designed in 1994 by architect Michael Graves, with an addition completed in 2004, also by Graves. The building was designed specifically to foster interactions between scientists, so offices and hallways are laid out in such a manner as to facilitate random meetings and impromptu discussions (with a number of blackboards in communal spaces for working out complex theoretical issues). Michael Graves is known for being one of the leading examples of postmodern architecture. In addition to building iconic commercial and public buildings (like the Denver Public Library and an expansion of the Whitney Museum of American Art), he was a Professor of Architecture at Princeton University and a designer for Alessi and Target. His postmodern and urbanist style was reflected in the use of color and classical elements in new and varied ways.

The building houses the offices of the departments of Anthropology, Asian-American Studies, Classics, Drama and Dance, History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies, as well as the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center. The design of HSSB incorporates some of the common elements of the overall campus design such as sheltered courtyards, covered loggias, and classrooms that open directly to the outside. Zimmer, Gunsul, Frasca Architects are an international architectural firm which specializes in commercial and education projects. In addition to HSSB, they also designed the Marine Science Building (2004), and the Bren School of Environmental Studies building (2002).

The placement of San Rafael Hall on the western edge of the campus, adjacent to Isla Vista, shows the expansion of the on-campus housing beyond the original residence hall cluster. The Carrillo Dining Commons was built (also by Charles Luckman Associates, 1967) adjacent to San Rafael. This residence hall was designed to have small clusters of students living in buildings designed to create small communities, each small section with their own study lounge and bathroom facilities. San Rafael was also designed as the first co-educational residence hall, with separate wings of the buildings for men and women. In addition to a new dining commons, recreational facilities were planned for the lagoon 'island' which included baseball, football, and soccer fields.

South Hall
subject: University of California, Santa Barbara
description: This photograph shows a model of South Hall, with Girvetz Hall in the foreground. Marsh, Smith & Powell designed Girvetz in 1955, shortly before Marshs' death. The firm changed its name to Powell, Morgridge, Richards, & Coughlin in the early 1960's and designed many of the buildings on campus in the "late campus standard" style of architecture: Phelps Hall, Ellison Hall, Buchanan Hall, and South Hall. This style is characterized by long horizontal lines of re-enforced concrete, with tall utility shafts, and sunscreens that overhang the windows to block the excessive sun. The connection between the "campus standard" and "late campus standard" styles can be seen most clearly in the walkways connecting South Hall and Girvetz: South Hall creates courtyards around Girvetz, with seating areas built from the standard cinnamon colored concrete blocks, and a one-story covered walkway extends from the southwest corner of Girvetz to the southwest corner of South.

Francisco Torres / Santa Catalina Residence Hall
subject: University of California, Santa Barbara
description: This is a preliminary planting plan for the area surrounding the private residence hall, Francisco Torres. This residence hall, at the corner of Storke Road and El Colegio, was built and maintained by private owners. Though it was heavily marketed towards incoming freshman, it was not part of the UCSB Housing department until UCSB purchased the complex in 2003 and renamed it Santa Catalina. This planting plan shows that the complex was initially designed with 4 towers, connected by a common area, dining hall, pool, and tennis courts.

description: The Bren School of Environmental Studies is one of the premier environmental science schools in the country, and the only graduate school of environmental management in the UC system. The building itself is also exceptional. The first dedicated research and laboratory facility to achieve the highest LEED status as a new building, it was re-certified Platinum in the existing buildings category in 2009 and again in 2017. It is the only building to receive multiple platinum awards. The central courtyard offers informal meeting spaces, while the open, exterior stairwell provides architectural interest. Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership is an international architectural firm that specializes in commercial and education projects. In addition to the Bren School, they also designed the Marine Science Building (2004) and the Humanities and Social Sciences building (1994).

San Joaquin Villages
subject: University of California, Santa Barbara
description: This site plan shows the pedestrian circulation patterns within this section of San Joaquin. The mixed height of the buildings, break up the massing of the structures which hold faculty apartments, lounges, and study spaces. The plan emphasizes communal spaces by placing them close to the public walkways. The buildings were sited so as not to impede upon the Storke Ranch properties immediately to the north. San Joaquin follows this model by also including the Portola Dining Commons, a market, outdoor volleyball and basketball courts, as well as a range of social and academic services for the 1000 students who live here and for the 1300 students in the adjacent Santa Catalina Residence Hall. By adding more apartment-style living units and amenities, the University hopes to keep students living in campus housing for all four of their undergraduate years. Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA) designed two of the housing clusters in the northern section of the site. Two more of the clusters were designed by Kevin Daly Architects (KDA), and Kieran Timberlake was responsible for the Portola Dining Commons. Two 6-story towers and the overall site master plan are by Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM).

Gregory Ain: Avenel Homes (Los Angeles, Calif.)
subject: Southern California Architecture California Modern Architecture
description: This group of small homes set side-by-side perpendicular to the street on a long lot, created a community feel, while walls and patios defined individual space. The houses were designed to be low cost urban housing, with the homeowners (a group of recent WWII veterans) pooling their resources to buy the land and build the development. This type of community at the time was viewed with suspicion of being communist in nature. Ain brought features of higher-end modernist homes into the low cost community housing. Though the space is only 908 square feet, Ain incorporated sliding walls between the living room and master bedroom, and between the two smaller bedrooms to give flexibility in living arrangements. The dining room table was incorporated into the kitchen counter to preserve space. The Federal Housing Authority had to approve the plans, and they denied Ain's design for a half bath, and insisted upon a broom closet instead. The complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

subject: Southern California Architecture California Modern Architecture
description: Originally planned as a tract of 100 homes on 60 acres, the Mar Vista Tract built 52 homes. Ain partnered with Joseph Johnson, Alfred Day, and landscape architect Garrett Eckbo to design the housing tract. The houses were turned in different directions, so that the side facing the street gave each house a slightly different look. Ain used sliding doors to create a flexible living arrangement-- one sliding door between bedrooms made two small rooms into one large room, and another sliding door between a bedroom and the living room opened up the space. It is the first post-WWII housing district to receive the Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zone designation.

With gold, silver, and borax mines, as well as a military base, jobs were available. The advertising brochure shows how narrow the marketing focus was on a specific type of homebuyer.

description: The house was built in 1940-1941 as a very small house, only 16x20. Frey added on to the house in 1948 and 1953. The first addition consisted of an additional living/sleeping area and an indoor/outdoor wading pool surrounded by corrugated metal walls and planted with many tropical plants. The 1953 addition was for the unique second floor sleeping area-- a circular room with porthole-style windows and a hanging staircase. Frey also added a curved metal and fiberglass wall surrounding the main pool.

Cliff May: Hauser house (Borrego Springs, Calif.)
subject: Cliff May, architect
description: The Hauser house in Borrego Springs is one of Cliff May's earlier custom ranch houses, but it has all of the elements of some of his larger designs. With a U-shaped floor plan, the house has one wing with master bedroom and smaller bedrooms, another wing with service rooms and garage, then the bottom of the U forms the living room and dining room, along with a large patio. With desert heat being an issue, the patio has a canvas 'skyshade' and a covered patio adjacent to the kitchen, which overlooks the pool. Another unique feature is the walled off 'play yard' outside of the children's bedroom-- a separate area from the parents' patio, so that each group can enjoy their separate outdoor space.

With a large circular motor court and pool with patio enclosed on all four sides by the house, it has some of the common features for May's custom houses. But as with some of his later custom homes, the scale of the patio and pool are increasingly grand, the motor court is larger, and the scale of the house has grown dramatically over his early ranch houses of the mid-30s.

Lutah Maria Riggs: Erving house (Montecito, Calif.)
description: With the Erving house in Montecito, the goal was to provide privacy for the owner and a view up towards the mountains and down to the ocean. Riggs achieved this by designing a large triangular wall of glass facing north (towards the mountains) and a similar, but smaller wall of glass facing south, with a large roof overhang, to protect the interior of the house from direct sunlight. A large fireplace divides the main room into living and dining without blocking the views in either direction.

description: Lutah Maria Riggs' work at the San Ysidro Ranch in the early 1950s is indicative of her work in Montecito at that time. She utilized the mid-century vernacular for her additions and alterations to the cottages, restaurant, and on-site manager's office and apartment. The Ranch itself was originally a working ranch that was part of the Santa Barbara Mission. One of it's buildings is an adobe house dating from 1825. Once the property became a hotel in the 1880s, it became a site for Hollywood elite to stay from the 1930s until the 1970s.

Davidson, J. R. (1889-1977): Case Study House #1
subject: Case Study House Art & Architecture Magazine
description: Case Study House #1 was the first design to be shown in the 1945 edition of Art and Architecture magazine, but due to wartime restrictions, it was not the first house built. J.R. Davidson was known for building large houses for wealthier clients, and he adapted his experience to fit the Case Study House program. His smaller house (only around 1100 square feet), went through a few floor plan iterations, but maintained a few higher-end luxuries such as separated bedrooms, each bedroom designed with its own bathroom and private patio, and large living areas which flowed onto outdoor living/dining rooms. It was finally constructed in North Hollywood in 1948 as a single family home, though in his early plans, Davidson had designed the house to allow for additional rental units to be built on the same property.

description: Case Study House #5 by Whitney Smith was an un-built project-- also known as the Loggia House. The central feature of this 1800 square foot house was the living room which could be expanded or contracted with the use of sliding glass walls and sliding screens. The walls of the house were to be constructed of adobe brick, framed in steel to make the walls light, insulated, and strong. The materials and design of the house were specifically created to showcase the indoor-outdoor living potential of the Southern California climate.

Davidson, J. R. (1889-1977): Case Study House #11
description: Case Study House #11 shows the progression of thought in the program since J.R. Davidson designed CSH#1. This house is smaller, more efficient, and is sited at an angle on the lot to still provide ample outdoor living areas. Both Davidson and Art and Architecture Magazine were hampered in their design and building of the CSH program by continued building supply shortages in the immediate post-war years. They were, however, able to use some of the new modern conveniences like plywood and in-floor radiant heating. The house was built in 1946 on South Barrington Avenue in West Los Angeles, but has since been demolished.

Smith, Whitney (1911-2002): Case Study House #12
description: Case Study House #12 was an un-built project from architect Whitney Smith. This house, similar in some ways to his previous house project (CSH #5), was designed by Smith to house horticulturists. As such, a lath house was attached to the house, and the X shape of the house allowed all rooms to have access to the garden areas surrounding the house. This design, while particular in this instance to gardeners, could also be adapted and modified to include different rooms for an array of hobbies and home-based professions. The recognition that large scale tract housing filled a need, but was not an exact fit for every family is exemplified in this design.

description: Case Study House #25, also known as the Edward Frank house, was built in the Naples area of Long Beach, Calif., and sited on a narrow lot, facing a canal. The main entrance to the house is on the canal side and enters into an enclosed, two story courtyard, with all of the rooms facing the courtyard have glass walls. This gives the rooms in the narrow house a feeling of expansiveness, due to the glass walls and filtered sunlight from the courtyard., but on the narrow city lot, this design also provides needed privacy.

Each house is sited so that it takes advantage of the view either towards the distant Pacific Ocean or inwards to a garden or pool. Each house in the Triad is different from the other two, though for economy and simplicity of building, the same materials were used in all three houses to varying degrees. The three houses were all built in 1960, and all three still exist today, though House B has been remodeled beyond recognition.

Killingsworth, Edward A. (1917-2004): Case Study Apartments #2
description: This is the second Case Study Apartment project, and it was never built. Killingsworth designed the 10 unit apartment complex to be a mix of four standard two bedroom apartments and six 'studio' two bedroom apartments which were two stories tall, and arranged in townhouse style. Both types of apartments were to be approximately 1300 square feet in size and each had a private courtyard entrance. This grouping allowed for garages to face the back of the property, a large swimming pool in the center of the complex, and a courtyard facing the main street.

Paul Laszlo (1900-1993): Hertz bomb shelter
description: Rental car company founder John Hertz commissioned Laszlo to build a bomb shelter in the backyard of his Woodland Hills, Calif. ranch, due to Hertz' concern over a possible nuclear attack on the Los Angeles area. Laszlo spent years designing the structure, as well as researching the building codes and discussing the effects of nuclear fallout with experts. According to archival material, Laszlo even tried to witness a nuclear blast through contacting the Office of Civil Defense for permission to travel to a military base. The Hertz shelter was equipped with sleeping areas, kitchen, bathroom, elevator, stairs, and an escape hatch. The Architecture and Design Collection also houses the Roland Coate archive, which includes plans for the Hertz house and bomb shelter addition.

Gregory Ain: Hacienda Village Extension (Los Angeles, Calif.)
description: Gregory Ain, along with his partners Johnson and Day, designed this never-built extension for Hacienda Village for the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles. The Extension of the original World War Two era housing project, would have extended from 103rd Place down to 107th Street, and from Compton Avenue to Grandee Avenue. The original Hacienda Village was designed by Paul R. Williams (chief architect), along with Adrian Wilson, Richard J. Neutra, Walter Wurdeman, and Welton Becket as housing for defense workers during the War. The area is now known as Gonzaque Village, and this particular tract is the current site of Markham Middle School.

Gregory Ain: Leshing Apartments (Hollywood, Calif.)
description: This 20-unit apartment building project (never built), was written up in Arts & Architecture Magazine alongside the Case Study House program, but was not part of it. The "Garden Apartments" as they were described, were a series of townhouse-style apartments, each opening onto their own private garden space, with windows looking onto the garden and shared walkway. Garages for each of the units were on the adjoining lot, with studio apartments with large decks on the second floor. The design allowed for each apartment to have it's own outdoor space, but windows and walls were sited such that privacy was of utmost importance, and each unit only overlooked their own private garden patio.

Kem Weber: Friedman house (Banning, Calif.)
description: Both the house and interiors were designed by Weber for the physician Dr. Joseph C. Friedman in the dry high desert of Banning, Calif. Friedman specialized in lung diseases, and the dry air of Banning was thought to help alleviate symptoms of tuberculosis and other ailments. The house was designed to have an attached doctor's office, a central patio, and an insulated roof with screened louvers to help regulate the temperature in the house. Weber employed many modernist design elements, and fused them with a modified hacienda-style to create a very Modern residence.

John Elgin Woolf (1908-1980): Case Study House #17 alterations
description: Case Study House #17 was built in 1956 by Craig Ellwood on a lot along Hidden Valley Road in Beverly Hills. It was a modern design, of plywood, steel, brick, and glass, like many of the other Case Study houses. But in 1962, John Woolf purchased the house and remade it into his signature Hollywood Regency style. The post and beam vertical elements were wrapped in Doric columns, the large glass front door was replaced with an oversized solid 'Pullman' door, and the interior rooms were also changed.

description: The house for Pendleton in Beverly Hills was one of the first and most complete realizations of Woolf's Hollywood Regency style. With the large front entrance door, mansard roof, and symmetrical oval windows flanking the front door, the residence contains all of Woolf's signature style. John B. Pendleton and his wife, Mary Frances, requested Woolf design a single-story house, since Mary was unable to climb stairs. They also requested a pool, cabana, entertainment space, and plans drawn up within one week. The house became Woolf's first major commission in Los Angles, and led to many of his other projects.

Kem Weber: Airline Chair
description: Kem Weber continuously designed and re-designed his furniture pieces to fit changing consumer needs and updating with new materials. One of his most innovative designs was the Airline Chair. With sleek, modern lines, a streamlined and cantilevered seat, and easy assembly, the chair was not a commercial success when it debuted in 1934. The lightweight curving sides and gently rocking seat and back of the chair were designed to be comfortable in a variety of seating positions. It was also designed to be sold unassembled, in a flat 27 pound box, and assembled at home by the consumer. The concept was many years ahead of its' time.

description: The Guasti residence, perched high in the hills of Montecito, was designed and built by Woolf. With sweeping views of the Santa Ynez mountains to the rear of the property, and views from downtown Santa Barbara out to the Channel Islands from the front of the house, the placement was regal. A wide driveway leads up to a motor court and the main entrance of the house, with a mansard roof, oversize Pullman door, and symmetrical wings with shuttered windows-- all classic Hollywood Regency architectural features. A sculpture garden overlooks a wide lawn, and a pool with pool house and cabana sit sheltered on the north side of the house.

The semi-circular driveway allowed for parking of cars, an important feature since Hornburg was the first dealer to import Jaguar cars to the United States. As a former advertising executive, Hornburg marketed the cars to Hollywood celebrities and movie executives.
