1 charles moore UCSB UCSB Architectural Historian Dec. 1990 In 1966 a building committee of The Faculty Club, chaired by Steven M. Horvath, began a search for an appropriate architect to design their new proposed building. The committee's desire was to engage an architect who would provide Santa Barbara and the campus with a building of great distinction - one that had the quality of the Santa Barbara Mission of 181520 and of the Santa Barbara County Court House of 1925-29 (the two most sought-out monuments within the community).


1 charles moore UCSB Horvath and his committee wished to see realized a building that would successfully play the game of being contemporary, but at the same time would be closely related to California's rich tradition of popular and high art architecture. A nationwide search for an architect was conducted. From the first, the one figure that seemed most likely to fulfill their desires was the Berkeley architect Charles W. Moore, together with his associate William Turnbull, Jr. A year or so before, Moore and his associates had completed their Condominium 1 at the Sea Ranch in northern California, a building which had brought them instant international fame.


2 KRESGE COLLEGE Kresge was the sixth college established at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Founded in 1971, it was designed with the concept of participatory democracy as a means of encouraging a strong sense of community. The vision was for the college to be a place where students enjoyed a sense of creativity, community, and individuality.


2 KRESGE COLLEGE Power and Representation, the Kresge core course that is required for all first-year students, examines the many ways we constitute ourselves as individuals in relation to communities, focusing on representations of class, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and race. First-year students who choose to live on campusat Kresge will explore these themes in class and in a unique residential space: they are the only of their UCSC peer group to live in apartments in the first year.
