More About April

Our trip home to Berkeley to renew our Visas coincided with Marda's nephew Daniel and Julie's wedding.  The wedding was planned to take place at the Faculty Club on the UC Berkeley campus.  Coincidentally the 40th Anniversary Celebration Symposium was also being held at the UC Berkeley campus at Wurster Hall, the School for Environmental Design. 
This is a photo of the book table hosted by the OWA Book Club.  My good friend Wendy Bertrand, on the left, published her memoir Enamored With Place to add to the growing collection of books about women architects. 
The Symposium was planned by another good friend, retired lecturer Mui Ho, and featured several women academics discussing topics around the theme, "Gender Matters."  Gender certainly matters in regards the practice of architecture where perspective is everything.
