  • The Greening of Balboa Park: a Holistic, Sustainable and Replicable Model
    The Greening of Balboa Park: A Holistic, Sustainable and Replicable Model Julieann Summerford, Heschong Mahone Group, Inc. Risa Baron, San Diego Gas & Electric Company Anna Stark, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Rory Ruppert, Balboa Park Cultural Partnership David McGrew, Reuben H. Fleet Science Center ABSTRACT Developed for the 1915 Panama Exposition, Balboa Park now houses more than two dozen major museums, performing arts organizations, gardens, and the San Diego Zoo. Located on over 1200 acres of land with over a million square feet of property, Balboa Park is one of the nation’s largest urban cultural centers, attracting more than 6.5 million visitors annually from around the world. Through recent collaborative efforts, Balboa Park is poised to become a national model for cultural institutions and urban parks to achieve environmental sustainability. In 2008 the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership established a Park-wide sustainability program that includes 26 cultural institutions, the City of San Diego, San Diego Gas & Electric, and many other community stakeholders. Designed to be a replicable model, the Partnership’s goals are the creation and alignment of sustainable business practices; the identification of, and communication with, key internal and external stakeholders; and the education of visitors, employees, stakeholders, and the public. All sustainability initiatives and results are benchmarked, measured and quantified—a vital component for measuring its carbon footprint and aligning with the state’s plan for energy efficiency. The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership (BPCP) has become the first network of cultural institutions in the country to benchmark the energy performance of its buildings using the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager.

  • Study of Chicano/Mexican Architecture in the Modern World
    1 CHICANO/MEXICAN ARCHITECTURE Study of Chicano/Mexican Architecture in the Modern World Nicholas R. Law ANTH 166-77 June 1, 2014 2 CHICANO/MEXICAN ARCHITECTURE Abstract Although sometimes overlooked, Latino/Chicano architecture is all around us and continues to influence modern structures today. From early century megalithic architecture to the baroque cathedrals and even to the Modernism movement, Latino architects have played a large role in establishing beautiful works of art and attributing to modern day architecture. In this paper I will address the influence Chicanos have had on modern day architecture. Tracing back to the Stone Age, Latino architecture can be discovered, though primitive it shows some of the earliest examples of their designs. As time progressed, Latino architecture was influenced by the Romans, Moors, Celts and even natives such as the Aztecs and Mayans as well as many others, spawning the Romanesque, Mudejar, Puuc, Castros and other styles that were practiced and still are practiced by Chicano/Latino architects. Chicano architecture is prevalent in the U.S. in areas such as the Olvera Street Market in LA and Old town in San Diego and in many cities and towns across North America. Using published works on architecture and architectural magazines, I will explain the influence Chicano/Latino architecture has on the U.S. and beyond. Keywords: attributing, discovered, published and influence 3 CHICANO/MEXICAN ARCHITECTURE Chicano/Mexican Architecture int the Modern World Mexican architecture has been around since the megalithic structures can be discovered, today Mexican and Chicano architecture can be observed worldwide. The influence of Chicano/Latino architects on modern architecture is very prevalent, as is Mexican architecture throughout history.
