TREASURE ISLAND AND THE PACIFIC – Andrew Shanken
Andrew Shanken is Associate Professor of Architecture at UC Berkeley and an architectural and urban historian interested in how “cultural constructions of memory shape the built environment.” His most recent book is Into the Void Pacific: Building the 1939 San Francisco World’s Fair (UC Press). His talk will address the way Californians perceived the Pacific world of mid-century and interpreted it at the GGIE on Treasure Island.
