As the designer of the tourist attraction "Hearst Castle" on the California coast, Julia Morgan is today widely known as an outstanding architect. Though women architects were unusual in the late 19th and early 20th century in California, she was not alone. Many other women practiced architecture, though their work often remained unnoticed. Inge Horton's book, Early Women Architects of the San Francisco Bay Area, presents the lives, careers and work of fifty largely unknown pioneers. It chronicles the triumphs and challenges these path-breaking women faced in their pursuit of entering and claiming space in the male-dominated field of architecture.
The book includes portraits of the architects discussed, photographs of their work, and some architectural drawings. Each biography includes vital data, a description of their career, a list of known buildings and work and a bibliography.
Inge Schaefer Horton is a retired city planner with a strong background in architecture who now devotes her time to the research of women architects and preservation issues in San Francisco. She is the author or several articles and two previous books on architecture in Berlin and Paris/Brussels. Inge is also the contributing author to a recent book celebrating the centennial of the Architecture Department at University of California, Berkeley.

Integrating the Adaptive Reuse of Historic Buildings in the Treasure Island Redevelopment Project
Michael Tymoff, Project Manager for the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development, will provide insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with integrating historic buildings into the fabric of a new mixed-use community and regional destination.
The Treasure Island Development Authority is proposing a plan to redevelop the former Naval Station of Treasure Island. Consisting of primarily low-density residential uses with vacant and underutilized non-residential structures, the redevelopment hopes to create a high-density, mixed-use community with a variety of housing types, a mixed-use retail core, 300 acres of parks and open space, and community facilities and services. This would include the adaptive reuse of historic buildings on both Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island.

Tour: Fox Theater
Take a glimpse into the past of an era where going to the theater was full of glitz and glamour. The Fox Oakland Theater is an architectural and community treasure that was at-risk for demolition numerous times since the theater's closure in 1970. The original Weeks & Day theater was state of the art for the 1920's. Architecture firms Architectural Dimensions, ELS Architecture & Urban Design, and Starkweather Bondy worked hard to preserve the original grandeur and beauty while updating it for the 21st Century. It was through successful efforts and combined hard work of a team of developers, architects, contractors, local government, federal groups, and local citizens that the Fox Theater was able to reopen its' doors in 2009.
This adaptive reuse project maintains the original intended use as a theater, while also housing much-needed space for Oakland's School for the Arts. The addition of retail and dining establishments adds vibrancy to the neighborhood community, ensuring that when the Theater is not open for shows, people continue to visit the neighborhood.

Adaptive Reuse - the Tipping Point
Right now, scattered in the built environment, there are vulnerable buildings at a tipping point. Thought maybe loved a little, there is no consensus that these particular buildings have enduring value. Some are arguing that they don't quite "pencil out", that it would be better to demolish and build new.
Should older buildings survive? Can they be rehabilitated, adapted and reused in a vital new way? Who are the players that make these decisions? On February 25, an esteemed panel of experts will share their experiences and tackle factors that frame the decision making process. Topics will include:
Courtney Damkroger, San Francisco Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board former Historic Preservation Officer, City of San Jose
Jim Buckley, President, Citizen's Housing Corporation
John Protopappas, President & CEO, Madison Park Financial Corporation
Kurt Schindler, AIA, Principle, ELS Architecture & Urban Design

- Public Opinion and political will
- Profit as motivation
- Recycled architecture - what do the costs reveal?
- Has a paradigm shift toward sustainability inserted a question of ethics into the pro forma?
- How do regulations help or hinder?

Learning from the Past to Protect the Future
Join us on Wednesday, January 14, 2009.
Before the advent of the strong materials of reinforced concrete and steel, many societies had developed an approach to seismic resistance based on flexibility rather than strength. In his lecture, Randolph Lagenbach will explore what can be learned from these historical construction practices, by describing a construction technology which he has entitled "Armature Crosswalls". This was inspired by Turkish and Kashmiri traditional construction but designed for use in modern reinforced concrete infill-wall buildings, a building type which is common across the globe.

This panel will present urban infill projects in historic contexts, examining the intent and result of a range of examples of infill architectural designs working with contexts from the past. Panelists will present architectural design approaches from historicist to contemporary designs and discuss how they respond to or dialogue with the existing historic context. Topics that may be explored and discussed include:
- Design approaches that reinvigorate existing urban environments by relating the new to the old, yet create a building that represents its own age with integrity,rather than background architecture;
- Historicist design versus false historicism - building on context versus copying context;
- Analysis of the degree of differentiation versus compatibility of the new design to its historic context, with respect to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards - "the new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment."
