It was high time for another local architectural photo excursion, something not too taxing on an extremely hot summer day. I decided to explore the campus of Cal State LA, a relatively short distance from home.

Campus Architecture - UH-Manoa

When I visit family in Hawaii, I often run at the University of Hawaii, Manoa Campus. I’ve taken many photos there and have been meaning to document. But sometimes a task can seem large and daunting, so much so that it discourages one from starting. So I decided to dive in, one campus building at a time.

We shall start with Bachman Hall, which I visited most recently in March 2024.

Back to School 2024 - Caltech

Though not a registered student, I am lucky to still find myself regularly on campus. As a member of the team that leads history and architecture tours at Caltech, our schedule aligns with that of the students - we get the summer off and return to the monthly tour schedule in the fall.

Our tours generally have been of the historal campus buildings but we have started to lead special tours of the modern campus, too. This post covers some of the modern buildings.

Architect Corner - Minoru Yamasaki, Michigan

When you happen to be near Detroit and have a small window of free time to archi-tour, where to go? I chose to walk the campus of Wayne State University to view the Minoru Yamasaki buildings.
