Architects. After my retirement, i have been helping cal poly pomona restore the historic 1932 studio residences designed by my father, richard noytra, one of the founders of california modern. I have been visiting with other historic modernist house museums around the world to learn about their restoration and programming. I was invited to serve on the Program Committee of the noytra house in los altos. It was originally a small residence of poet jacqueline johnson, designed by my father in the late 1930s. It has been restored and adaptively reused as an intimate conference venue. I have had the pleasure of working with mr. Pearlman on his Program Committee. What i have noticed about mr. Pearlman is this. He understands not only the importance of sensitive restoration and adaptive reuse, but also the intellectual Historical Context of original buildings. He is widely read in the history of architecture, although we are volunteers on that committee, he always follows through on what he
Forthright. So, some of you received my articles and if you read my articles, the many point is that we serve the community. And what is hooping in the various departments including the s f g o c is that in certain areas, we lack standards.

And, we know just because of the nature of the water system Improvement Project, that type of project and that type of outreach was different from what is what should be done with the sewer system Improvement Project and i have been saying this for a long time and i really miss the gentlemen who was on the commission richard straw, i really miss him because, when yo
Their altar, as their pulpit area. So, in the course of the history of this building, which is now, you know, closing in on 90 years, the stage was probably only used for three or four years of the, of the life of that theater. So, based on that, i didnt think that that rose to being whats considered a character defining feature of the building. And that for this developer who, trust me, we dragged screaming and kicking to the from where he wanted to tear down the building to coming about 90 of the way to agreeing to restore the marquee, put the blade sign back, put some of the ornaments on the building. And basically meeting the secretary of interior standards for the rehabilitation of the building. He came 90 of the way there. But to make it worth doing financially, he needed for that portion of the building to not be there so he could build the housing that opened to hayes street. So, you know, in my judgment, while he was, you know, sort of challenging to the community and as his r
