The Jacobs School is getting a house on a roof!
Read about it in the San Diego Union Tribune. Here is an excerpt from the UT story by Robert Pincus about the next addition to the UC San Diego Stuart Collection:
Looking toward the 30th anniversary of the collection next year, [Mary] Beebe is raising money and awareness to install Korean-American Do-Ho Suh’s “Fallen Star” as the collection’s 18th work. It would consist of a modest suburban-style home with landscaping on the rooftop of a parapet that is part of a building in the campus’s engineering school. Suh is on campus next week to work on details of the proposal and speak to an invited audience at UCSD’s faculty club.
Suh will also give a second talk at UC San Diego on January 13.
