Built in 1877. Now up for sale.
Probably to be turned into flats. These buildings have Grade IIa listings.
This is one of only four pictures that came out before the shutter of the Minox died! Unfortunately you won´t notice it until the film is developed due to the very, very quite shutter. I will send it to Minox for repairs because of it´s otherwise great condition...
Construction progress on the new home for AIA California.
---
In need of a more prominent local presence, the organization which supports the architecture profession in the State, AIA California (AIACA), moved their offices to a Midtown building which was once occupied by architect Ralph Vitiello’s practice. Originally built in the 1930’s, the existing brick building has tremendous character with concrete floors and exposed wood trusses.
As each client is unique in what they do and how they work, we embedded ourselves in AIACA’s work environment to understand how their new space needed to function and feel. Through a series of benchmarking tours, ideation charrettes and sketch sessions we designed a space tailored to their organizational needs which includes neighborhoods and spaces supportive of different work modes, as well as areas encouraging collaboration. A variety of conference spaces also allow flexibility for meetings, events and focused work when necessary.
On the exterior an entry portal addresses the street and creates a prominent entrance into the new space. Other features include a curated library where books featuring California architects and designers will be displayed. A “big table” serves as the staff break area and also a pre-function space for events and AIA Executive Committee meetings. This public side can be closed off through a series of full height sliding doors, providing privacy for the staff offices.
This new space better serves the AIACA as they continue their mission for California architects.
this is my desk space... or it was... it's much different now... but it might end up back like that... you never know... the computer in the center of the setup was custom built by me... the other one was purchased by me... the keyboard there lights up... the other computer sadly doesn't have a keyboard... you can see my smoking pipe there next to my keyboard... yes that's my sherlock 2005 pipe... i love it... it roxors... i also have a really good smelling candle in that shot tha was stolen from my sister... hmmm... that's pretty much all i have to say about that...
This is another new building, kitty-corner from the heart center, across from the guest house. I think it may be administrative offices. The stairway from the underground tunnel takes you to thte lobby.
The library offered a special noontime program with Dr. Joe Sutliff Sanders, KSU professor of Children's Literature. His presentation led those in attendance through events surrounding the escape of H. A. & Margret Rey. creators of the Curious George books, from France during World War II.
