Architects. After my retirement, i have been helping cal poly pomona restore the historic 1932 studio residences designed by my father, richard noytra, one of the founders of california modern. I have been visiting with other historic modernist house museums around the world to learn about their restoration and programming. I was invited to serve on the Program Committee of the noytra house in los altos. It was originally a small residence of poet jacqueline johnson, designed by my father in the late 1930s. It has been restored and adaptively reused as an intimate conference venue. I have had the pleasure of working with mr. Pearlman on his Program Committee. What i have noticed about mr.

And basically meeting the secretary of interior standards for the rehabilitation of the building. He came 90 of the way there. But to make it worth doing financially, he needed for that portion of the building to not be there so he could build the housing that opened to hayes street. So, you know, in my judgment, while he was, you know, sort of challenging to the community and as his r
How much time do i have to make a statement . You dont have unlimited time. [laughter] im not asking for an hour. Two minutes. Thank you. Supervisors, thank you for having me here today. My name is Jonathan Pearlman. I would this out because im not as good a speaker if i dont do that so i will read this statement. When the Mayors Office contacted me asking me to interview for a possible seat on the Historic Preservation commission, i assumed it was for the one of the seats designated for historic architect and was surprise today learn it was seat 3, the architectural historians position. Since im not a traditional candidate for this seat, using preservation using the academic model, ways somewhat reluctant to accept the invitation to interview. After discussing my concerns and told i was qualified for the seat, considered the contributions i might bring to this commission. As an architect im in the trenches having to work with home and building owners and their neighbors who are unfami
