Architecture Dean (Continued on page 7) Belluschi stresses design simplicity By KEN FRIESEN Emerald Staff Writer Pietro Belluschi, dean of the School of Architecture and Plan ning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, gave an informal talk to about 175 architecture students and faculty last night in Lawrence Hall. His impromptu discussion centered around be ginning .students finding the key to simplicity in architecture. Culture important Becoming interested in all the facets of human activities is one thing the beginnings architect must do, he said. Another step in finding simplicity is to have reached an understanding of the values of culture, he said. Above all "you have to attain culture." This culture will aid in arriving at the restraint needed in architecture, he commented. “Ninety per cent of the architects lack restraint.” Restraint, he added, is to bring out only the important things that should be conveyed in a design. After becoming “pretty self assured in your values," Belluschi said, the architect is ready to learn how to make people happy through his designs. Architecture must “satisfy the demands of the spirit." Architecture leader Belluschi, a former Portland architect and educator, will take part in the Charter Day Convoca tion today. He is one of three men who will receive awards for dis tinguished service to the state. He is considered a world leader in c.ontemporary architecture. Belluschi was introduced by Walter Gordon, dean of the School of Architecture at the University.
