Hosted by the Southern California Chapter | 1 AIA CES Learning Unit|Elective
While Lotusland is known by many for its world-renowned gardens, much less has been discussed regarding its architectural pedigree. Few know that both Reginald Johnson and George Washington Smith, key architects of California’s 1920’s, both designed buildings which are the current architectural backdrop for Lotusland. Even fewer have seen blueprints from both architects, delving into their design-minds to understand the special organization, ornamentation, and design intent of the structures. Early sketches for buildings that were never actually built will also be examined in an effort to understand the process and transformation of the site.In addition, other projects from Smith and Johnson will be compared and discussed to more fully understand these great masters within the context of Lotusland, and to more fully appreciate one of the greatest estates in the Santa Barbara region.And finally, the answer to the all-important question: “So what DOES a George Washington Smith doghouse design-drawing look like?…” will be given.This program will be presented on Zoom. The link will be sent 24 hours prior to the event.
