June 8th, 9:30 a.m. After being awarded First Prize in the international competition for the Bibliotheca Alexandria in 1989, Christoph founded the Norwegian firm Snohetta and spent eight years in Egypt overseeing the design and construction of this world renowned $200 million project. The compelling idea portrayed in its main geometric form, the circle, is one of openness, containment and all-encompassing knowledge – inspiring all who gather there with its uplifted, positive expression. Since his
relocation to Los Angeles, his firm, CK-architecture, has won numerous additional awards and prizes. Christoph Kapeller has published many analytical articles and is a member of the design faculty at the University of Southern California’s School of
Architecture. Sunday, July
13th, 9:30 a.m.: The W. M. Keck Foundation Director of Research at The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Garndens, Dr. Robert “Roy” Ritchie has augmented his specialty in Early American history, especially the seventeenth century, with his interest in early modern England. In his talk about the importance of the bell in Western society, he traces its long history from being adopted by the Church as a means of getting people to church on time, to signaling periods for prayerful thought, to developing a secular significance for communities and over time different styles of bell ringing – always being an undeniably inspirational form of expression.
Sunday, August 10th, 9:30 a.m.: What is a computer? Will it surpass the human being and come close to God? “No,” says Yoshito “Super” Yamaguchi, chairman of Sennet, Inc. which promotes TRON computer software which is the subject of Mr. Yamaguchi’s recently published book, “but, if used wisely, the computer can greatly assist you and even deepen your spiritual journey.” Past president/chairman of Mitsubishi Electric America Inc., Mr. Yamaguchi was later senior managing director of Mitsubishi Electric Corp. in Japan and continues as Honorary Advisor. In addition, Mr. Yamaguchi is Chairman of the Board of Directors at Kwassui women’s college and school in Nagasaki. A concert pianist himself, Mr. Yamaguchi is married to Ikuko Yamaguchi who is the organist in their Methodist Christian Church in Kamakura.
