Architectural Masterpiece: Paving the Way for the Future
All over the world from, San Diego
Cost: Free
A Geisel Library 50th Anniversary Signature Event: It has been called many things—a spaceship, a large mushroom, an enormous concrete and glass jewel held aloft by concrete fingers… the list goes on. UC San Diego’s flagship building, Geisel Library, fascinates and captures the imaginations of all who encounter it. At this virtual event, a panel of experts will peel back the layers of its history and explore the basic architectural principles that make this icon an architectural masterpiece. Lynda Corey Claassen, director of Special Collections & Archives at the UC San Diego Library, will moderate the event.
