MondaviCenter.Com

mondavicenter.jpgA view of the Mondavi Center on the south edge of campus, quite a landmark from the freeway. It’s about to start its second season of performances. Maybe I’m just uncultured, but it’s hard for me to see the center as anything other than a $60 million dollar vanity project to benefit a completely different clientele than the students attending the university. This student’s letter expresses a similar view.

  1. Uncultured? Maybe, but this is someone who sings Mahler in the shower….

  2. Oh dear. Atrocious! Like the architecture HQ at UCBerkeley. One could wish contemporary provincials would be content in their provinciality and, as Mr. Lopez observes, foster a real academic community with the considerable resources at their command.
