Halfway through, the cherry fell to one side of the cake, became lost in some crumbs, and it was not until much fumbling with the design of corn flake boxes and lipstick tubes was over that everyone finally settled down to the business of the values of design. Nearly 650 people were registered at this year's Conference, with less than 30 from countries outside the U.S. Architects, industrial designers, product designers, graphic designers, educators, the press, nearly 250 students, and even housewives, were brought together. Irving Grossman (Toronto), who designed the Administration and News Building at Expo '67, addressed the Conference as to why land developers, bankers, real estate brokers, and industrialists were not represented in greater numbers. He pointed out that eighty-five per- cent of all new construction on the North American continent is built by land developers, and he charged that "Architects do little to influence these people; instead, they patronize them." While the American lecturers grumbled over the impossibility of bucking the "establishment," and over the tight grip exercised on the architect by politics and the dollar, two soft-spoken Scandina- bound linen locks, where hanks of thread looped over and then vians, John Allpass and Alf Boe, presented a practical path toward tied to form tails or large thatch thrusts which cascade out of the real hope in designing a system of values for America, especially background.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument.
