EXHIBIT - Greenwood Common: Uncommonly Modern
February 3 - May 8 . | . 6 pm - 8 pm . | . 210 Wurster Hall This exhibition reveals the history of Greenwood Common, an enclave of eight distinct modernist houses, developed between 1951 and 1957 in the Berkeley hills by architect William W. Wurster. The purchasers of the lots, working with established architects and landscape architects, created homes showcasing a uniquely Californian lifestyle that reflected the mild climate, the distinctive geography, and the local environment. Greenwood Common has become an icon of regional mid-century modernism and continues to thrive as a well maintained and comfortable community site—all as it was originally intended.
