Pritzker Prize to Doshi, Designer for Humanity in Search of a Win-Win
03.19.18 GIVING VOICE TO THOSE WHO CREATE WORKPLACE DESIGN & FURNISHINGS Pritzker Prize to Doshi, Designer for Humanity The 2018 Pritzker Prize, universally considered the highest honor for an architect, will be conferred this year on the 90-year- old Balkrishna Doshi, the first Indian so honored. The citation from the Pritzker jury recognizes his particular strengths by stating that he “has always created architecture that is serious, never flashy or a follower of trends.” The never-flashy-or-trendy message is another indication from these arbiters of design that our infatuation with exotic three-dimensional configurations initiated by Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid – and emulated by numerous others – may have run its course.

Oral History of Edward Charles Bassett
ORAL HISTORY OF EDWARD CHARLES BASSETT Interviewed by Betty J. Blum Compiled under the auspices of the Chicago Architects Oral History Project The Ernest R. Graham Study Center for Architectural Drawings Department of Architecture The Art Institute of Chicago Copyright © 1992 Revised Edition Copyright © 2006 The Art Institute of Chicago This manuscript is hereby made available to the public for research purposes only. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publication, are reserved to the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries of The Art Institute of Chicago. No part of this manuscript may be quoted for publication without the written permission of The Art Institute of Chicago. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iv Preface to Revised Edition v Outline of Topics vi Oral History 1 Selected References 149 Curriculum Vitae 150 Index of Names and Buildings 151 iii PREFACE On January 30, 31, and February 1, 1989, I met with Edward Charles Bassett in his home in Mill Valley, California, to record his memoirs. Retired now, "Chuck" has been the head of design of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill's San Francisco office from 1955-1981. Those twenty-six years were a time of unprecedented growth and change to which Chuck not only bore witness but helped shape. Chuck Bassett was one of the SOM triumvirate of the postwar years: he was the West Coast counterpart of Gordon Bunshaft in New York and William Hartmann in Chicago. In 1988 the California Council of the American Institute of Architects awarded SOM, San Francisco, a 42-year award for "...the genuine commitment that the firm has had to its city, to the profession and to both art and the business of architecture." Although Chuck prefers to be known as a team player, his personal contribution to this achievement is unmistakable in the context of urban San Francisco since 1955. -
The Louis I. Kahn Collection
Solomon’s Success: Trenton Bath House to be Saved On Friday, August 11th at 2:54 PM EST, news flashed across the internet and around the world that the Bath House and Day Camp pavilions designed by Louis Kahn in the mid 1950s for the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Ewing, New Jersey, would be preserved. The message was sent from architectural historian, DOCOMOMO US member, and Kahn scholar Susan Solomon. She is the leader of a ten-year struggle to preserve Kahn’s work in Ewing and literally wrote the book on Kahn and the Bath House (Louis I. Kahn’s Trenton Jewish Community Center, Princeton Architectural Press, 2000). Design of the JCC was the first major project of Kahn’s private practice. He acknowledged this work as inspiring a fundamental and profound shift in his architectural thinking. Kahn “discovered himself” after designing this project, considering the Trenton Bath House as his first opportunity to work out the concept of served and serving spaces. The archi- tectural fundamentals he discovered is Exterior, Trenton Bath House, recognizable in every building he designed subsequently. Trenton, NJ Kahn’s Bath House and pool (1955) and four Day Camp pavilions (photo: Susan Solomon) (1957) have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected by a Ewing preservation ordinance since 1984. Due to extensive deterioration of the Day Camp pavilions, the JCC sought approval for the demolition of two of the four pavilions in 1966 but withdrew the request when the preservation community strongly objected. Although the Day Camp pavilions were not demolished, wooden barricades and wire fencing were erected to prevent access; deterioration accelerated. -

Hambright Drawing Canonical Ideas in Architecture UofA Lecture 6: Robert Venturi, Vanna Venturi House, 1959-64 1968 “…it is clear that the period around 1968 represents a generational if not a paradigm shift. These books begin to question the internal conditions of the discipline of architecture, particularly in America, which had, until 1968, been a relatively nontheoretical and professional one, focused primarily on the pragmatics of the architectural practice.“ S.

T-821 Publication Title: Collection of Italian Military Records, 1935-1943 Date Published
Publication Number: T-821 Publication Title: Collection of Italian Military Records, 1935-1943 Date Published: 1967 COLLECTION OF ITALIAN MILITARY RECORDS, 1935-1943 Introduction Reproduced on the 514 rolls of this publication, T-821, is a three-part Guide prepared by members of the staff of the National Archives to describe seized World War II records of the Italian Armed Forces presently in the care of the National Archives. The records cover the years of World War II through 1943 and include some prewar material. The main part of the seized records of the Italian Armed Forces was taken by German military forces from several depositories in various parts of Italy after the surrender of the Italian Government to Allied Forces in September 1943. these records were administered by the Aktensammelstelle Süd, a records center originally located at Ingolstadt and later at Munich, which was under the jurisdiction of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam. In 1945 the records were captured by U.S. Forces during the campaigns in North Africa and Sicily in 1942 and 1943, and Italian Navy records. All folders containing Italian records held by the Aktensammelstelle Süd were assigned consecutive numbers preceded by the symbol IT (for Italy). These numbers extend from IT 1 through IT 5463. Folders numbered IT 5464 through 6060 were also in the custody of the Aktensammelstelle but had not been assigned numbers at the time of the capitulation of Germany in May 1945. Later they were given IT numbers by personnel in Germany under U.S. Army supervision. All other folders containing Italian records were assigned IT numbers in the National Archives as an extension of the Aktensammelstelle Süd system. -
