The Rutter Center at UCSF Mission Bay stands as an architectural marvel and a central hub for students and faculty. Designed by renowned architect Ricardo Legorreta, the center's distinctive red façade and towering structure exemplify contemporary Mexican architecture, with a blend of vibrant colors and geometric forms. The Rutter Center houses state-of-the-art fitness facilities, meeting spaces, and community areas, making it an integral part of the UCSF Mission Bay campus. Its design not only fosters a sense of community but also encourages wellness and collaboration among its users. The center's strategic location within the South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood places it at the heart of San Francisco's innovation and research district. The building's eco-friendly design incorporates sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems, reflecting UCSF's commitment to sustainability. Visitors to the Rutter Center can enjoy a range of amenities, from modern fitness equipment and indoor swimming pools to conference rooms equipped with the latest technology. The center's vibrant exterior and thoughtful design make it a landmark in the Mission Bay area, attracting both locals and visitors. Whether you're a student, faculty member, or visitor, the Rutter Center offers a dynamic and inspiring environment for work, exercise, and community engagement.
In line with the outstanding excellence of their cameras, Leica issued in the 1990s a set of quality lapel badges detailing the iconic Ur-Leica (prototype) and M6 model. From a badge perspective the detailing is quite remarkable as can be seen from the original presentation box, juxtaposed with the extracted badges. The badges were manufactured in Speicher, Germany by Stuco GmbH & Co. KG - a company that has its origins in the late 19th century.
Ur-Leica:
This was a prototype 35mm camera designed by Oskar Barnack in 1913-14. The impact of WW1 delayed production but by 1925 the Leica 1 (Model A) made a significant impact on the photographic fraternity.
M6 (Classic):
The M6 Leica 35mm camera debuted in 1984. Considered by many to be a design classic, this highly advanced mechanical rangefinder camera was produced in various adaptations for a fourteen year period until production ceased in 1998.
(As a side note, the photograph of the Leica badges was taken with a Leica D-Lux 4. All photographs within my Flickr Photostream/Albums were taken with the same, compact digital camera)
