Risley & Gould

The LA-based architecture firm of Risley & Gould designed a number of projects on the campus of the University of California at San Diego (primarily at Revelle College). Their breezeway (above and below), is my favorite structure on campus (along with the library).

Keith York of Modern San Diego recently asked me if I had any photos of the Risley & Gould projects, as he has just established a web page for them on his site. Since I only had the breezeway, he asked me to take a few more when I got the chance.

As it happens, I'm currently shooting another project on campus for the architect Kevin deFreitas (more on that later). Since I was already walking past the Risley & Gould buildings, I grabbed a few quick shots for his website.

Both Risley & Gould taught at the USC School of Architecture. Risley, who was from San Diego, once worked for Bertram Goodhue (who designed many of the structures in San Diego's Balboa Park).
