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.

Architecture Field Trip - Loyola Marymount Campus

This week I had an airport drop off for family members leaving from LAX. As I would be in the airport area mid-morning, I decided to head to the Loyola Marymount University Westchester campus nearby for a quick “archi-tour”.
