This project is an investigation of the window over the course of the 20th century, and in particular on the UC Berkeley campus. Everyone will be investigating eight windows from different decades. Information should be gathered to address the following categories:

Completion Date  Image of Exterior Image of Interior How is it made? Tectonics? How does it feel? How does it perform?


Here are some online sources to finding information about buildings on campus:

UC Berkeley campus c. 1912 (Bancroft Library)

Campus Building Inventory (not exhaustive)

Here is a timeline of the buildings on campus that we will update during tghe week after Spring Break with a list of people investigating that building. To see the windows in each building, follow the links to the people who investigated that building.  Each student's history page has many buildings, so you will have to scroll to find the particular building you are looking for.  Look at the campus map (linked above) to locate the buildings.
