An artistic look at Berkeley’s architecture

Catherine Philippon’s book offers a selective, non-academic view of architecture across the UC Berkeley campus, the town, and its surroundings. It draws attention to surprising views, revivals of earlier architectural styles, and contrasts between buildings and places. The scope is intentionally not exhaustive, so Berkeley appears here through particular visual observations rather than as a comprehensive architectural survey. The emphasis on juxtaposition gives the area’s built environment a distinctive subject: how different styles and settings sit alongside one another.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Berkeley’s architecture and built environment
  • Those curious about campus and town landmarks from an artistic perspective

Book overview

This is by no means a guide to Berkeley, and has no intention of being complete or exhaustive. It is a lighthearted look at the architecture on UC Berkeley campus, the town of Berkeley and its surroundings. It is to be surprising for the outsider, at times funny at times pointing out contrasts. It is more of an artistic view at the area than an academic one. Views that surprise, good revivals of former styles and some interesting juxtapositions.
