Private Architectural practice 1954 to present, professor or architecture, University of California 1954 to present; Guest Professor - American and European Universities. Interest in Popper's philosophy: Epistemology, facts and decisions, holism, determinism v.s. indeterminism, world III etc., growth of knowledge, evolutionary epistemology. Publications: Magazine articles; mainly articles about me or my work. Activities: study of philosophy, travel and travel photography. News of that might be of interest to other readers: Insatiable interest, alas, by architecture students in phenomenology. Especially Martin Heidegger; and now also Michel Foucault. These things come in fashion waves. To dissuade students is about like fighting the tide of the pacific. But these fashions are short lived - five or six years and a new fad takes over. This has been gathering momentum the better part of ten years and is at a high point just now. I suspect it will dissipate soon."
