SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: The North Range\, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Tom Bonner \nARCH TOUR FEST: The North Range\, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library\, UCLA\nThe Clark Library is an amazingly little-known Renaissance revival masterpiece built in 1926 by philanthropist William Andrews Clark\, Jr. as a memorial to his father\, a notorious copper baron and a U.S. Senator. It was designed by the city’s classiest architect\, Robert Farquahar\, as a lavishly detailed\, deeply encoded message to the cognoscenti. It glitters from a walled block in a once grand Los Angeles neighborhood. At Clark Jr.’s death in 1934 the entire property was willed to UCLA with the stipulation that nothing be built above grade within 100 feet of the library. By then Clark had removed ten neighboring houses\, relocated a two-story chauffeur’s quarters\, extended an existing brick wall around the block\, and engaged landscape architect Ralph Cornell to remodel the site as a public park. Whatever Clark had in mind\, it was never completed. The library drifted for the next 60 years as an unfinished landscape made emptier by the removal of Clark’s house and observatory. The Clark is not only the focus of research activity as the UCLA Center for 17th and 18th Century Studies\, but also an active venue for chamber music. \nFunding allowed construction of support facilities as a first step in transforming the library site into a community of scholars. This posed questions of enclosure\, anchorage\, juxtaposition\, and landscape dynamics. The plan builds on Clark’s concern with enclosure- an extendable wall thickened to 22 feet\, cracked open with daylight and as tall as we could push it. Four rectangular modules are separated by courtyards to form a “range” (an 18th century term used by Jefferson at the University of Virginia) that runs 270 feet along the north side of the block to leave the center suggestively open. It houses editorial offices\, storage\, conference\, food service facilities\, and guest quarters. In form and color\, it relates to Clark’s stocky red brick wall and not to the delicate library from which it respectfully withdraws. Operating as a spatial counterweight\, it lessens the emptiness of the garden expanse\, and its two-story height further encloses the open garden. Its mural presence palpably anchors the library when seen from across the lawn. \nDesign Awards: AIA/Los Angeles 1990; AIA/California Council 1991; AIA National Brick in Architecture 1995 \nTour Led by: \nBarton Phelps\, FAIA emeritus \nOver nearly a half-century of practice\, Barton Phelps\, FAIA\, has contributed to the profession of architecture in a remarkable variety of ways. He is an inspiring teacher\, an engaging writer\, editorial leader\, and a determined advocate for progressive change. His leadership at local\, state\, and national levels-for the AIA\, NEA Design Arts\, GSA Design Excellence program\, Society of Architectural Historians\, Mayor’s Institute on City Design\, the University of California\, and the City of Los Angeles-has enhanced public environmental policy\, elevated architectural journalism\, and set new standards for recognition of design excellence. Above all\, Barton Phelps is an insightful designer\, whose work reveals a subtle\, studied grasp of the dynamics of urban and rural landscapes. He was the 2022 recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from AIA/California. In addition to the North Range of the Clark Library\, projects for UCLA include the Seismic Renovation of Royce Hall\, the East Building of the University Lab School\, and the Adademic Advancement Center. Other new buildings include L.A. Public Libraries in Los Feliz\, Hollywood\, and Woodland Hills\, the performing Arts Center and Student Commons at Thacher School in Ojai\, and a major expansion of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium\, as well as residential and ecological retreat properties in California and across the U.S. \nDerek Christian Quezada Meneses – Head Librarian\, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library at UCLA \nDerek Christian Quezada Meneses is the Head Librarian of the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library at UCLA\, where he oversees one of the nation’s most distinguished collections of early modern\, fin-de-siècle\, and modern fine press materials.

SUMMARY:ARCH TOUR FEST: El Paradiso
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Jim Simmons \nARCH TOUR FEST: El Paradiso\nEl Paradiso (also known as the Grossman House) is the only existing all-aluminum house by Raphael Soriano\, FAIA\,. Architect Linda Brettler\, AIA\, embarked on a renovation in the spirit of the original\, transforming it into a home and architecture studio for herself. Working from original blueprints\, she updated the1964\, 3\,800-square-foot house to returned it to its ideal state\, while reworking inappropriate earlier revisions. To make it more inviting and incorporate her own design vision\, she discovered and embellished upon the house’s original sense of whimsy\, color\, and surprise. Situated on an oblong lot in the hills above Studio City in Los Angeles’s San Fernando Valley\, the house’s perpendicular orientation and flowing functional floor plan allow for privacy and views from all rooms. \nOne of the more unusual aspects of the open-plan layout is that areas are separated by cabinetry rather than walls. These floating cabinetry units made from Micarta (an early form of high-pressure laminate) are designed to reflect the purpose and proportions of a room’s use. Brettler conducted an exacting restoration of the original features. Secondary lighting and LED replacements update the home\, as do the addition of electric shades\, new appliances and plumbing fixtures\, and cork flooring. Original laminates\, terrazzo\, and cork walls were rehabbed with care. The Grossman’s scrapbook of the house is an added bonus for tour-goers to view the original process. \n  \nTour Led by: \n  \nLinda Brettler\, AIA\, principal\, Linda Brettler | Architect \nLinda Brettler\, AIA\, has been a licensed architect since 1992. Her Los Angeles-based practice concentrates on creating single-family homes that fit her clients’ lifestyles. Brettler’s original architecture tends toward a natural contemporary approach\, while her renovation work often entails updating older properties for today’s needs. Her delight in details and materials is evident in the masterful tile work that has become her trademark. Prior to opening her own practice in 1996\, Brettler worked at award-winning architecture firms\, including Moore Ruble Yudell and Brenda Levin and Associates. She holds a BA in biochemistry from Harvard University and a Master of Architecture from UCLA. Brettler has served as the Cultural Heritage Commission’s Architect appointee for three Historic Protection Overlay Zones\, and as a Board Member of the LA Conservancy. \n  \nArchitect: Linda Brettler | Architect (Raphael Soriano original architect)\nBuilding Credits: \nGeneral Contractor: M.S.
