Dreamed of as an educational experiment by bureaucrats and designed by the modernist architect William Pereira, this carefully orchestrated vision blends the aspirations of cybernetic science, political ambition, and the promise of an ever-new frontier to conquer. At the dawn of the turbulent cultural era later dubbed the “Age of Aquarius,” the campus was set to revolutionize the way students would live and learn. Conceived from the ground up, the planned landscape of the “University City” encapsulated a technocratic alternative to California’s growing countercultural spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9783035631401.
