About the Exhibition
While the region's postwar residential architecture is highly celebrated, less recognized are the innovations in construction technology and materials that made such developments possible. ½ûÂþÌìÌà explores the link between new building techniques and pioneering modern design in several iconic houses, including a technical examination of the thermal performance of these residences a timely topic for architectural practice today. This exhibition is brought to the visitors and community of CalPoly by a grant from the Getty as part of Pacific Standard Time a SoCal-wide Getty Project.
