Project Director and Guest Curator of the Exhibition Foreword HARM O NY IN DIVER S ITY: THE EXHIBITI O N Stephen C. McGough Director Museum of Art University of Oregon JT lS FlTTlNG, on the occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the establish­ ment of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of O regon, that the university honor the school's founding dean, Ellis F. Lawrence, with an exhibition and study of his work. The exhibition at the Museum of Art is a happy "coming home," in effect, since Lawrence designed the building. In fact, Lawrence was the architect for a total of twenty-five buildings on the campus. Ellis F. Lawrence designed more than 500 buildings , yet his work is little known. Many of his buildings have been unidentified, and some arc falsely attributed to other architects. Lawrence pioneered in his incorporation of the arts and crafts into archi­ tecture and architectural training, in his attention to city and regional planning issues, and in his unique attempts to bridge modern and traditional des ign. His buildings, the educational and profess ional organiza tions he founded, and his other creative and professional activities make him the most significant Oregon architect of his time. The present exhibition, for which this publication is a companion, results in part from a project to document all of Lawrence's work. This major undertaking of the graduate Historic Preservation Program of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts is led by Program Director Michael Shellenbarger. I am grateful to Associate Professor Shellenbarger for serving as gues t curator of the exhibition . In addition, I thank asso­ ciate gues t curator Kimberly K. Lakin, who codirccted the Lawrence survey, and Associate Professor Leland M. Roth, who has provided frequent advice and perspec­ ti ve. The Historic Preservati on Program was founded in 1980 and quickly established a national reputation fo r its broad cultural emphas is and technical focus. Dean Law­ rence would no doubt have approved of the interdisc iplinary nature of the program, which draws fro m facul ty members and course work in architecture; art history; inte­ rior architecture; landscape architecture; and planning, public policy and management. I acknowledge as well the contributions of the Muse um of Art staff in bringing together the many facets of the exhibition . T ommy Griffin, curator of exhibitions, designed the installation . Lawrence Fong, registrar, and C laudia Fisher, registrar's ass istant, attended to the details of the many loans. Mark C larke and Dorothy Schuchardt ass isted in the installation. O ther staff members-Stephen Deck, C hes ter Kasmarski, Rebecca S lade, Ethel W cltman, and Michael Whitcnack-each lent their talents to the show's success. Finall y, I thank the many lenders who, thro ugh their ge nerosity, have made the exhibition poss ible. The bulk of the exhibition comes from other parts of the University of O regon : the A rchitecture and A llied Arts Li brary, the Special Collec­ tions d ivision of the University of Oregon Library, the University A rchives, and the Phys ical Plant. Additional items have been loaned by the W hitman College A rch ives, the Massach usetts Institute ofTechnology Museum, Amos Lawrence, Denison Law­ rence, N. S. Penrose, Jr. , and Dorothy A. Penrose.

  • OTHER PRAIRIE SCHOOL ARCHITECTS George Washington
    OTHER PRAIRIE SCHOOL ARCHITECTS George Washington Maher (1864–1926) Maher, at the age of 18, began working for the architectural firm of Bauer & Hill in Chicago before entering Silsbee’s office with Wright and Elmslie. Between late 1889 and early 1890, Maher formed a brief partnership with Charles Corwin. He then practiced independently until his son Philip joined him in the early 1920s. Maher developed his “motif-rhythm” design theory, which involved using a decorative symbol throughout a building. In Pleasant Home, the Farson-Mills House (Oak Park, 1897), he used a lion and a circle and tray motif. Maher enjoyed considerable social success, designing many houses on Chicago’s North Shore and several buildings for Northwestern University, including the gymnasium (1908–1909) and the Swift Hall of Engineering. In Winona, Minnesota, Maher designed the J. R. Watkins Administration Building (1911 – 1913), and the Winona Savings Bank (1913). Like Wright, Maher hoped to create an American style, but as his career progressed his designs became less original and relied more on past foreign styles. Maher’s frustration with his career may have led to his suicide in 1926. Dwight Heald Perkins (1867–1941) Perkins moved to Chicago from Memphis at age 12. He worked in the Stockyards and then in the architectural firm of Wheelock & Clay. A family friend financed sending Perkins to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied architecture for two years and then taught for a year. He returned to Chicago in 1888 after working briefly for Henry Hobson Richardson. Between 1888 and 1894 Perkins worked for Burnham & Root.

  • 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22
    HVS International : 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS International, in cooperation with New York University’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the eighth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. In 2004, the Manhattan lodging market experienced an impressive recovery, with a RevPAR increase of 22% compared to 2003. From March through December of 2004, the market recorded double-digit growth in RevPAR each month, ranging from a high of 41% in April to a low of roundly 17% in October. At 83.2%, overall occupancy reached close to the historical peak achieved in 2000 (at 83.7%) while marketwide average rate was less than 10% below the 2000 level. Occupancy and average rate in 2005 should surpass 2000 levels. Due to limited new supply and increased compression resulting from near-maximum-capacity occupancy levels, overall RevPAR will experience double-digit growth for the next few years. Based on an overall improved economic climate, strong barriers to entry, limited new supply, and increased compression, we forecast the Manhattan lodging market to achieve a robust ±17% RevPAR growth in 2005. HVS International HVS International is a global consulting and services organization focused on the hotel, restaurant, timeshare, gaming, and leisure industries. Its clients rely on the firm’s specialized industry knowledge and expertise for advice and services geared to enhance economic returns and asset value. Through a network of 23 offices staffed by more than 200 seasoned industry professionals, HVS offers a wide scope of services that track the development/ownership process.

  • Against All Odds MIT's Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture
    Against all Odds MIT’s Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture * Eran Ben-Joseph, Holly D. Ben-Joseph, Anne C. Dodge1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, City Design and Development Group 77 Massachusetts Ave. 10-485 Cambridge, MA 02139 1 November 2006 * Recipient of the 6th Milka Bliznakov Prize Commendation: International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) This research is aimed at exposing the influential, yet little known and short-lived landscape architecture program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) between 1900 and 1909. Not only was it one of only two professional landscape architecture education programs in the United States at the time (the other one at Harvard also started at 1900), but the first and only one to admit both women and men. Women students were attracted to the MIT option because it provided excellent opportunities, which they were denied elsewhere. Harvard, for example did not admit women until 1942 and all-women institutions such as the Cambridge School or the Cornell program were established after the MIT program was terminated. Unlike the other schools of that time, the MIT program did not keep women from the well-known academic leaders and male designers of the time nor from their male counterparts. At MIT, women had the opportunity to study directly with Beaux-Art design pioneers such as Charles S. Sargent, Guy Lowell, Désiré Despradelle, and the revered department head Francis Ward Chandler. Historical accounts acknowledged that a woman could “put herself through a stiff course” at MIT including advance science and structural engineering instruction.

    ATTACHMENT 6 LPC 04-05-18 Page 1 of 4 Land Use Planning Received March 27, 2018 Harvey Helfand 1057 Curtis Street • Albany, California 94706 510-524-6003 • [email protected] 27 March 2018 Members of the Landmarks Preservation Commission City of Berkeley 2120 Milvia Street Berkeley, California 94704 Re: Campanile Way Landmark Application I am writing again as an expert on the planning and architectural history of the Berkeley Campus of the University of California to emphasize my points previously made for the preservation of the view corridor from Campanile Way to the Golden Gate. My expertise draws from fifteen years as Campus Planner at Berkeley from 1978 to 1993, during which time I managed the preparation of a new Long Range Development Plan. I later conducted extensive research on the history of the campus that culminated in the publication of my book, University of California, Berkeley: The Campus Guide (Princeton Architectural Press, 2002), an authoritative work that is still regularly referred to by campus librarians and researchers today. I hope that this letter will convince you that the preservation of the view corridor from Campanile Way to the Golden Gate is not only a significant historic issue, but also a physical exemplification of the democratic principle of the Common Good. One of the nation’s best examples of American Beaux-Arts planning exists on the campus of the University of California in the heart of Berkeley. This early 20th century plan exemplifies the principles of that movement, with its ensemble of buildings and open spaces organized geometrically and axially and with careful alignment to natural features, vistas, and focal points that extend beyond the campus grounds.
