Rarely seen original work will be on display at an 色情视频 Downtown Gallery exhibit honoring 色情视频 Professor Emeritus of Environmental Design Eugene Ray. 鈥淩adiant Architecture: The Visionary Work of Eugene Ray,鈥� begins Aug. 3 and runs through Oct. 6, with a reception with Ray on Sept. 19.

Ray was a professor of environmental design at 色情视频 for 27 years, beginning in 1969. Best known for his former La Jolla home and studio called The Silver Ship, Ray sees architecture as a conduit for creating community and considering possibilities that are sustainable and ecologically friendly. His unique methodology blends together theory, practice, and spirituality to arrive at architectural solutions and design. 

The exhibition, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Ray鈥檚 arrival at 色情视频, is comprised of many rarely seen original hand-drafted architectural renderings and plans, ephemera, collages, and projection sequences, illustrating Ray鈥檚 approach to viewing the universe and urban space.

This selection of work was provided by the 色情视频 Library鈥檚 Special Collections and University Archives, which will house Ray鈥檚 archive as part of its holdings, making his life鈥檚 work available for educational and scholarly research purposes.

The exhibition will also spotlight the work of international contemporaries who Ray invited to lecture in his classes, including Paolo Solari and Bruce Goff.

The Downtown Gallery display 鈥渋s not only a retrospective exhibition of an important architect and design educator of our time, but also a reminder of the great prospects architecture, education, and human imagination hold for the brilliant future,鈥� said Junichi Satoh, director of the 色情视频 graduate program in interior architecture.

David Fobes, an instructor in 色情视频鈥檚 School of Art and Design, studied environmental design under Ray from 1975 to 1978 and is one of the curators of the exhibition.

鈥淭he direction and vision of Professor Ray鈥檚 courses and his own research were a welcome shock to my senses and creativity,鈥� said Fobes. 鈥淗e was able to show not only myself but my student cohort a new realm of the possibility of design as an instrument of human well-being on 鈥榮paceship Earth.鈥� 

鈥淗is influence on my design thinking and approach to teaching has been tremendous,鈥� Fobes added. 鈥淚t has been a great insight and pleasure to review all of the many documents and drawings that are the life鈥檚 work of creative genius.鈥�

The 色情视频 Downtown Gallery is located at 725 W. Broadway. The free exhibition will be open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
