The House: 6 Points of Departure
Extraordinary architects Thom Mayne and Robin Donaldson return to a pivotal site in their careers: the Crawford House in Montecito, which emerged as a house of ideas and one of the world’s most widely studied pieces of residential architecture. The House takes us on an exploration of the creative process, investigates art’s impact on architecture, and reveals insights into these renowned architects’ pursuit of the singular idea. (Gregg Goggin, 2024, 46 min)
This Is Not a House
This Is Not a House details the construction of Hill House, one of the most unique homes in the world. This delightful structure designed by Robin Donaldson of Donaldson+Partners, who worked hand-in-hand with homeowners Bruce Heavin and Lynda Weinman for six years, is born of the combined power of art, technology and a celebration of play. (Morgan Neville, 2023, 30 min.)
Screening of This Is Not a House will be followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker Morgan Neville, homeowner Bruce Heavin and architect Robin Donaldson, moderated by UCSB AD&A Museum curator Silvia Perea
