Morning, volunteered at check in for the San Diego Green conference put on by USGBC and AIA.
Then lunch, and heard Jerry Yudelson, and Jason McLennan. Learnt more about net zero energy building, and the Living Building Challenge.
Also went to the session about Ecological Literacy: Preparing the Next Generation, then heard Bob Berkebile speak.
Got over to La Jolla in the evening to hear John Baldessari at MCASD, after which I saw the show and had wine and great conversation with friends.
Fri Sept 19:
Ran errands in the morning and got ready to go to LA.
Checked into the hotel and went over to the Hammer Museum and walked through the Lautner show with the curators.
The symposium starts.
I learn about Eladio Dieste.
We then had dinner and back to the Hammer where we saw the architects Hernan Diaz Alonso, Neil M Denari, Winka Dubbeldam, and Frank Escher show us some of their work and their responses to the challenge of creating an addition to a Lautner residential structure.
Sat Sept 20:
The symposium continues at the Getty Center. Coffee and tea are served in this fantastic space with Baldessari’s “Specimen (after Durer)” and measures 14.5x11.5’.
It is a little difficult sitting through all the presentations without falling asleep but I am picking up some information. During the dinner break we see The Bernini exhibit, and sit sipping wine and watching as the sun sets. I have never been to the Getty at night.
The symposium continues with a panel discussion with some of the clients and colleagues of Lautner. This was very informative and entertaining, and there are many others in the audience that knew Lautner. It would have been nice if more time had been given to this, but it ends much too quickly and we take the tram down.
Sun Sept 21:
We had planned on going to LACMA, but opt to leave LA after breakfast.
I have a lot to absorb and there is more coming.
