SOLD OUT-UCSB Archives Tour

Please join the ICAA Southern California for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Architecture and Design Collection at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The collection is one of the largest architectural archives in North America and showcases the work of legendary Southern California-based architects including Irving Gill, John Byers, Roland Coate, Sr., George Washington Smith, Wallace Neff, Myron Hunt, R. M. Schindler, and Lutah Maria Riggs. Our archives tour will allow a small group of attendees to peruse works from a selection of these architects, celebrating some of the greatest design of the 20th century.

Our guide for the tour will be Silvia Perea. Silvia is an architect (M.Arch), Ph.D., and Curator of the Architecture and Design Collection at the AD&A Museum (University of California, Santa Barbara). Dr. Perea holds a Doctorate in Architecture with Honors from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) and a Certificate in Museum Studies from Harvard University. Throughout her career, Dr. Perea has combined teaching and publishing with the organization of exhibitions. Dr. Perea has taught at international universities, including Columbia (NY), CEPT (India), Blas Pascal (Argentina), and the UPM (Spain). She has also published extensively, working as an editor of Arquitectura Viva, and contributing articles to magazines such as Domus, Architectural Record, Potlatch, Minerva, and Arquitectura, among others. As a curator, Dr. Perea has organized over a dozen exhibitions of art and architecture for American and European museums. Her curatorial practice advocates the integration of both disciplines as a means to enrich their respective discourses and perspectives.
