HAVENS HOUSE TOUR - April 25, 2004
On Sunday, April 25, 2004 BUSSA members joined Architecture History Professor Kathleen James-Chakraborty and a few Architecture170b students for a tour of the historic Weston Havens House.
Located on Panoramic Way above the UC Berkeley campus, the house was built c.
1941 by architect Hamilton Harwell Harris (1903-1990). The Havens House is considered his masterpiece. Its unique use of inverted gables and dramatic geometric forms earned the house its reputation as one of the greatest examples of Modernist residential architecture. The house also offers stunning views of the San Francisco Bay and a beautiful courtyard. The University of California is currently in the process
of purchasing the house, and a restoration is planned.
Special thanks go out to BUSSA co-chair Kate Grindlay and Professor James-Chakraborty and our tour guide, Weston Haven's friend Sergio, for making this great event possible.

SF MOMA Trip
On Thursday, April 14th some of the members of BUSSA headed over to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to view a photographic exhibit on the last years of the town of Monticello, Ca, before it was destroyed to make way for Berryessa Resevoir. The photos were taken in 1956 by Dorothea Lange and Pirkle Jones.
After checking out the exhibit the group headed to the Mission District for some good burritos. Thanks to Rudy for planning the trip! Photos are below
