Julia Morgan: Pioneering Female Architect of Hearst Castle

About this course:

Julia Morgan, the first woman to earn an architect's license in California, was a prolific designer of hundreds of buildings. Among the more than 700 buildings in California that she designed, she is best known for her collaboration with publisher William Randolph Hearst and her work on Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. In this course, we explore her life and some of her groundbreaking works from San Pedro to San Francisco., including the Herald Examiner Building in Los Angeles, Annenberg Community Beach House at Santa Monica State Beach, the Riverside YWCA (now the Riverside Art Museum and home to the Cheech Marin Collection), Fairmont San Francisco, and, of course, a virtual visit to Hearst Castle. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.
