About this Item

Anshen and Allen won a closed 1965 competition among five invited architecture firms including Louis I. Kahn, SOM, Eero Saarinen and Associates, and Vernon DeMars. The program called for a large 200-foot planetarium, eight assembly halls, a science education center with classrooms, laboratories, a television studio, offices, and a cafeteria, a 600-seat auditorium with a rotating stage, a science information center, and parking for 750 vehicles. The jury consisted of architects Pietro Belluschi, Richard M. Bennett, and Clarence W.W. Mayhew, along with University of California Regents Donald H. McLaughlin and Edwin Pauley. The Lawrence Hall Science Committee membership was virtually the contemporary CIA executive roster. With later floor plan and guide laid-in. First edition. 30.5 cm; 16 pp.; illustrated from photographs and drawings. Parts of the model left unbuilt have been indicated with a red X; some light wear to covers; else a good copy in wrappers.
