On June 10^th, Todd Pitman, ASLA presented an illuminating  program focusing on the architecture of Lloyd Ruocco for the San Diego Historical Society’s Historic Places series. Todd has extensively researched Lloyd Ruocco’s work, which includes the Fortiner Residence in Borrego http://borregomodern.com/the_design/lloyd_ruocco.php

On June 27^th, Keith York www.modernsandiego.com and Dave Hampton www.objectsusa.com were part of the Mingei Museum’s Perspectives on Mid-Century California Design, a symposium accompanying the exhibition MASTERS OF MID-CENTURY CALIFORNIA MODERNISM – Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman. The exhibit runs through January 10^th, 2010 and is well worth the visit.

Todd, Keith and Dave have all been of great support to borregomodern.com and are extremely informed and interesting speakers who have compiled some great stories of San Diego’s mid-century modern movement. I know we’ll be hearing more from them in the near future.
