Georgescu in Beverly Hills

SAH/SCC Tour and Talk Saturday, March 7th Modern Patrons:

SAH/SCC’s Modern Patrons program is pleased to present a very special opportunity to spend the afternoon of March 7th, 4-7PM, in the Pier Pasinetti Residence, designed by Romanian architect Haralamb Georgescu for the celebrated Italian writer. This event is reserved for Patron and Life Members on a first-come first-served basis. Tickets are $25 per person; reservations will be limit- ed and the event will only be opened up to the regular membership should space be available.

Recently featured in the home section of the January 17th edition of the Times, the 1957 Pasinetti house (first published in Arts & Architecture in January 1959) is a fantastic story of a remarkable house slated for demolition—only to be saved by unusual cir- cumstances and the foresight of a unique individual leading to its ultimate rebirth through a superb rehabilitation. Haralamb (Bubi) Georgescu (1908-1977) had established a 15-year career in Romania from 1933 to 1947 and was at one time the Chief Architect to the City of Bucharest. He designed office buildings, apartment blocks, hotels, department stores, restaurants, night- clubs, the King’s Summer Palace, the Romanian Pavilion at Leipzig Fair, and the Aro Theatre, which is considered his most important work and remains a landmark of Bucharest today. In 1947, Georgescu and his new bride stowed away on a cargo ship bound for Argentina to escape arrest by the Communists for refusing to join the party. En route he was stranded in . He eventually came to Los Angeles in 1951 and briefly worked in the offices of Paul Lazlo and Kenneth Lind. In 1957, he partnered with architect James Larson and undertook the commission to design the residence for his good friend Pier Pasinetti, a journalist and UCLA professor, who lived in the house until his death in 2006. Georgescu had an active and successful career in America and in 2008 his archives were acquired by the Getty Research Institute. Now in the process of being designated a Cultural Historic Landmark, and probably Georgescu’s most important residential work, the Pasinetti house is a simple modern design for an affirmed bachelor on a dramatic hillside setting. Our late afternoon reception (to capture the changing light) will include learning about the house from real estate developer Tim Braseth, the owner whose vision changed its fate, and Aaron Torrence of Design + Construction, the project architect who undertook the effort to revitalize this spectacular piece of resi- dential architecture. We may even have the opportunity to learn more about the writer Pasinetti from one of his close colleagues. See order form on Back Page.

Editor: Julie D. Taylor, Hon. AIA/LA In February, I was honored to be asked to speak at the Palm Springs Art Museum’s Associate Editor: Adrian Santos Architecture and Design Council Symposium, “Possessed: The Obsession of Internet Editor: Brent Eckerman Ownership.” As an Executive Board Member of SAH/SCC for more than a decade, I’ve observed the “rediscovery” of modern architecture. I have witnessed the transition from Art Director: Svetlana Petrovic original owners to a new generation, the resurrection and restoration of significant Administration: Arline Chambers homes that were all but lost, and the trend toward “collecting” modern architecture by individuals and institutions. May/June 2009 issue deadline for newsletter information and ads: April 10, 2009 I believe that the educational programs of SAH/SCC have contributed to a Please send all ad materials, notices of events, and news to the attention of the editor: heightened awareness and appreciation of modern architecture both in our region and nationwide. Our travel tours to Boston, Sarasota, and Phoenix increased the local Julie D.

CA 91413 Watching the Sarasota community rediscover its significant modern structures SAH/SCC Executive Board was especially rewarding. The first day of SAH/SCC touring in 2001 ended at the newly restored Deering Residence (1961) by Paul Rudolph. One of Rudolph’s most dynamic Sian Winship (President) Jean Clare Baaden Jay Platt compositions, the Deering Residence glowed in the Gulf twilight as we celebrated the John Ellis (Vice President) Laura Friedman Adam Wheeler end to an inspiring day and experienced the rebirth of a residential masterpiece. Rina Rubenstein (Membership) Cara Mullio Dennis Whelan So it came as quite a shock this week to learn that since our visit, a new 30,000- John Berley (Treasurer) Merry Ovnick square-foot+ McMansion has replaced the Deering Residence. Brent Eckerman (Internet) Frankly, I’ve struggled with this concept of “collecting” modern architecture. I fear that the objectification of these homes can undermine their underlying promise by SAH/SCC Advisory Board stripping these residences of human habitation, and turning them into “museum Ted Bosley, Ken Breisch, Stephen Harby, Elizabeth McMillian, Rochelle Mills, homes,” rarely used and often neglected. From Le Corbusier to Richard Neutra and Claire Rogger, Richard C. Rowe, Nancy Smith, Ted Wells, Robert Winter beyond, modern architecture intended to play an important role toward enhancing the day-to-day quality of life for its occupants. What makes modern architecture distinctive from modern art is the all-encompassing experiential component; good modern architecture transforms ordinary daily tasks into extraordinary and stimulating experiences. Occupants enliven the building and fulfill the promise. SAH/SCC members Conversely, however, I’ve taken comfort in the idea that positioning modern architecture as great art enhances its chance for preservation. No one buys a Picasso to have another artist paint over it, do they? That is, unless there is a shortage of prime canvas (a.k.a. beachfront land) and a steady stream of people with more money than Life Members: JOYCE P. LUDMER ROBERT D. WALLACE RANDELL L.

Postcard From Havana: !Viva Moruzzi!

An oddly balmy winter’s afternoon in Santa Monica turned positively tropical during historian Peter Moruzzi’s presentation on Havana’s mag- nificent modern architectural heritage. The January 24th SAH/SCC Authors on Architecture event brought a full house to the Santa Monica Public Library’s King Auditorium. Peter’s slide presentation was drawn from his recent book Havana Before Castro: When Cuba Was a Tropical Playground (Gibbs Smith Publishers, 2008). Focusing on the transformative effect that Cuba’s tropical climate had on architects steeped in European Modernism, Moruzzi led a vir- tual tour of the work of both home-grown and visiting designers. Ranging from austere International Style residences to the flashy Tropicana nightclub, Modernism found a remarkably receptive audience for several decades before the 1959 revolution, and even during the first few years under Castro. A highlight of the presentation was Peter’s now-and-then photos showing just how intact many of these modern land- marks remain today. While some are a bit worse for wear due to neglect and the salt air, a few—especially the amazing Havana Riviera, built by Miami-based Igor Polevitsky in 1957 for mobster Meyer Lansky—are peerless time capsules of mid-century design. SAH/SCC is grateful to Peter Moruzzi for taking us to Havana, if only for an hour. Thanks also to the Santa Monica Public Library for host- ing the first of what we hope are many successful educational programs at its beautiful facility. Many library patrons who were unfamiliar with SAH/SCC mingled with our members at this free event and we hope to see them again in the future.
