charles moore ucsb

Charles Moore was born in 1956. He has been editor of The Spectator (1984-90), the Sunday Telegraph (1992-5) and The

Daily Telegraph (1995-2003).

He is the authorised biographer of Margaret Thatcher and continues to write for The Spectator and The Daily Telegraph.

UCSB Faculty Club

The first time Moore used this strategy was in the UC Santa Barbara Faculty Club of 1966-68 by MLTW/Moore-Turnbull.

In an interview with John Wesley Cooke and Heinrich Klotz reprinted in the recent anthology You Have to Pay for the Public

Life Moore described it this way:

“The front wall of the club, which faces the lagoon, is partially the result of a controversy with the campus architect, Charles

Luckman. When he saw our building, he said is was unacceptable, that it looked terrible, didn’t look like his stuff, and had to

have a bris-soleil. He thought that would cause us to put a screen over it which would hide this awful building which we had

done, and he wouldn’t have to worry about it any more. It swept over me in the middle of the night, that all we have to do is

have another wall in front of our opening, with other holes in it. Thanks to Charles Luckman, then came our first free

standing walls.” (p. 188)

Kresge College

Kresge College is one of the residential colleges that make up the University of California, Santa

Cruz. Founded in 1971, Kresge is located on the western edge of the UCSC campus. Kresge is the

sixth of ten colleges at UCSC, and originally one of the most experimental. The first provost of

Kresge, Bob Edgar, had been strongly influenced by his experience in T-groups run by NTL

Institute. He asked a T-group facilitator, psychologist Michael Kahn, to help him start the college.

seattle museum

The Seattle Art Museum (commonly known as "SAM") is an art

museum located in Seattle, Washington, USA. It maintains three major facilities: its

main museum in downtown Seattle; the Seattle Asian Art Museum (SAAM)

in Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill, and the Olympic Sculpture Park on the central

Seattle waterfront, which opened on January 20, 2007. Admission to the sculpture

park is always free. Admission to the other facilities is free on the first Thursday of

each month; SAM also offers free admission the first Saturday of the month. And

even the normal admission is suggested, meaning that the museum would like

visitors to pay the complete admission but if they can not pay fully they can still

enjoy the museum

Rotunda Museum

The Rotunda Museum, described as the finest surviving purpose-built

museum of its age in the country, was built in 1829 to a design suggested

by William Smith, 'Father of English Geology'.[3] Smith's pioneering work

established that geological strata could be identified and correlated using

the fossils they contain. Smith came to Scarborough after his release from

debtors' prison. The dramatic Jurassic coastline of Yorkshire offered him an

area of geological richness.

Sir John Johnstone became Smith’s patron and employed him as his Land

Steward at Hackness. Johnstone was President of the Scarborough

Philosophical Society which raised the money to build the Rotunda and

consulted Smith as to the Museum’s design. Still in his twenties, Sir John

was an intellectual leader in Scarborough in the 1820s and a staunch

supporter of Smith and his ideas. He donated the Hackness stone of which

the Rotunda Museum is built. Smith had seen a rotunda in London and

instructed the architect, Richard Sharp of York, to follow that design. The

Rotunda Museum was built to Smith’s design suggestion and the original

display of fossils illustrated his ideas. The fossils and rocks were arranged in

the order in which they occurred, with the youngest in the cases at the top

and the oldest at the bottom. The order around the walls reflected the

order of rocks on the Yorkshire coast. A section of the rocks on the coast

was drawn around the inside of the dome of the building by Smiths nephew,

another geologist, John Phillips.The two wings were added to the building

in 186
