The personal residence of renowned architect, author and award-winning architectural educator Charles W. Moore is the focus of the third installment of the Alexander Architectural Archive’s “To Better Know a Building” series.
The Charles Moore House at Orinda, California, was designed by Moore for himself and built in 1961. With its small footprint, the building was viewed as a quintessential expression of third bay region residential architecture.

Purism, constructivism, rationalism, or functionalism — these are terms seeking to give a name to various aspects of the notable phenomenon that literally obsessed the European architectural scene in the 1920s. One of the main art centers where the new approach to architecture was developing had, since the beginning, been Prague. Functionalism was not just passively accepted here but further evolved practically and theoretically.
This workshop will be a two-hour hands-on tutorial for students who are interested in learning to process their own 35mm or medium format (120mm) black-and-white film in the UTSOA's Darkroom. Students will learn techniques to load the film onto reels and develop the film with black-and-white chemistry. Various film speeds and developing times will be covered. Students will learn how to wash and dry film and proper techniques to preserve negatives. At least one pre-shot roll of black-and-white film will be needed (please make sure your film does not say C-41 anywhere on the canister.)
