WILLIAM PEREIRA by Ray Watson
1 WILLIAM PEREIRA By Ray Watson Nestled inland from the Pacific Ocean midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, the City of Irvine is internationally acclaimed as the most successful New Community developed in this century. Conceived in 1959 by William Pereira as a university community to accompany a new campus of the University of California, Irvine was born in 1965 and the campus and the city have grown up together as part of an historic alliance that continues to this day. The transformation of the Irvine Ranch from its agricultural heritage to one of this nation’s best known new urban communities is a tribute to the long term stewardship of the Irvine Company and William Pereira whose original vision set a course the company has faithfully followed for over forty years. While Pereira’s original charge was limited to 10,000 of the ranch’s 93,000 acres the principles he espoused for planning the new university town soon became the guiding urban goals for the entire ranch. Mixed use residential, business and commercial villages connected by regional roads, bikes trails and open space corridors. Portions of the ranch have become parts of neighboring cities such as Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, Santa Ana, Tustin and Orange. But in each case the same care and thought that he urged for the future University City was given to the parcels that were claimed by the municipalities that surrounded the ranch and would soon become neighbors of the new city. This is as much a story of the urbanization and interrelationship of a substantial piece of a metropolitan region as it is the development of one of its towns.

Changes to Halprin’s Landmark Freeway Park in Seattle Originally designed by Lawrence Halprin and Associates, the plantings at Seattle’s Freeway Park are currently being updated by Seattle landscape architect and University of Washington professor Iain Robertson, who aims to “not change the character of the park, but to recharge the design." Executed by Mr. Halprin’s office under the design direction of Angela Danadjieva, Freeway Park is one of the best preserved masterworks of post-war landscape architecture, yet the horticultural requirements of the plants necessitate renewed attention to the origi- nal design intent. However, its fate may also be a bellweather for the future of modernist architecture, landscapes and engineering feats associated with the interstate highway system across the country. After the publication of Halprin’s book Freeways in Aerial view of the park over Interstate 5 in downtown Seattle circa 1999. 1966 and his work with the Freeway Park, Seattle, WA (Photo courtesy of the City of Seattle) Federal Highway Administration’s Urban Advisors group, the Seattle Parks Commission sought his assistance in designing a park along the edge of the new interstate gorge. Rather than confining himself to the proposed plot of land, Halprin pushed the ideas in his book into the cityscape by proposing an extensive landscape that scaled down the impact of the freeway for both driver and pedestrian by building right over it. Rather than balking at this audacious plan, the city bun- dled the proposal into the county-wide open space

Introduction The Mid 20th Century Architecture in New Hampshire Context: 1945‐1975 was prepared by Lisa Mausolf, Preservation Consultant, under contract for the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security. The context was prepared as mitigation for the sale of the Employment Security building at 32 South Main Street in Concord. The modern curtain wall structure was designed by Manchester architects Koehler & Isaak in 1958. A colorful landmark on South Main Street, discussion of the architectural significance of the building draws commentary ranging from praise “as an excellent example of mid‐ century Modern architecture and ideals of space, form, and function”1 to derision, calling it one of the ugliest buildings in Concord. NH Department of Employment Security, 32 South Main Street, Concord (1958) The Mid 20th Century Architecture in New Hampshire Context was prepared in order to begin work on a framework to better understand the state’s modern architectural resources. The report focuses primarily on high‐style buildings, designed by architects, and excludes residential structures.

Determination of Eligibility, January 2016
CHET HOLIFIELD FEDERAL BUILDING Determination of Eligibility – National Register of Historic Places January 29, 2016 Section I – Introduction Page 1-1 SECTION I - INTRODUCTION A. Purpose of the Report The Chet Holifield Federal Building located at 24000 Avila Road in Laguna Niguel, California houses various Federal agencies. The 1,003,041 square foot, seven-story building sits on a 92-acre landscaped site. Commissioned by the Rockwell Corporation, the complex was constructed in 1968-1971 and designed by William L. Pereira & Associates. The Modernist complex exhibits a stepped pyramidal and Brutalist style influence in its geometric design. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the eligibility of the Chet Holifield Federal Building for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. This determination will allow the General Services Administration (GSA) to appropriately address any future alterations and renovations to the site and buildings while extending the useful life of the complex. The 1966 National Historic Preservation Act under Section 110, requires the GSA to identify, evaluate, and nominate properties under its jurisdiction that qualify for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. It is GSA’s policy to identify potentially eligible properties, apply the criteria, and make a preliminary determination. Consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer is required to make a formal determination. GSA commissioned this report to fulfill its Section 110 obligation for this property. B. Methodology A review of information provided by GSA and archival and historical research was conducted by Heritage Architecture & Planning (Heritage). The on-site evaluation was conducted on September 23, 2014 by Project Architect Carmen Pauli and Historian Eileen Magno of Heritage Architecture & Planning.
