I am an Architectural Historian/Cultural Resources Planner at Page & Turnbull in San Francisco/Los Angeles, the past president of Docomomo US/Northern California, and former member of the Advisory Committee for the Glen Park Neighborhoods History Project. I wrote my master’s thesis for The University of Texas at Austin on Diamond Heights in 2017 and have given numerous walking tours of the neighborhood since. I’m excited to continue to share photographs, maps, and stories from this fascinating neighborhood and hope to encourage stewardship of the Modernist built heritage of Diamond Heights. -Hannah Lise Simonson https://www.moderndiamondheights.com/home daily 1.0 2025-07-18 https://www.moderndiamondheights.com/read daily 0.75 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff89609cc0dcd7be5b5a8dd/1610303547990-I3L8KCRDP2L3NAMAD6JC/image-asset.png Read - Modern Diamond Heights Masters of Science in Historic Preservation UT Austin School of Architecture | May 2017 This thesis began as an internship at the San Francisco Planning Department during the summer of 2016, while I was working on an Historic Context Statement for the neighborhood of Diamond Heights. Over the summer, I conducted extensive archival research on the neighborhood, a San Francisco Redevelopment Agency project, on which there was little scholarship. Additionally, I preformed a reconnaissance-level survey of key areas, which would later inform my thesis project which focused on the current preservation challenges that Diamond Heights faces as an un-landmarked neighborhood full of "recent past" resources and Bay Area regional idioms of Modernist design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff89609cc0dcd7be5b5a8dd/1610306773699-RNY7CLMT9MUPD9PA5AF2/image-asset.jpeg Read - Dwell-ification The Loss of Time and Place in Modern Architecture Issue 14 | University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture Let me start by saying that I am a subscriber to Dwell magazine. I like it. I don’t love every project, and I am not infrequently horrified at how expensive some of the featured products are, but overall I enjoy the magazine. After all, shelter magazines generally function as inspirational, or aspirational, rather than critical or editorial.
