Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect is an upcoming event that will delve into the fascinating life of acclaimed architect Julia Morgan. Renowned biographer and historian Victoria Kastner will be leading the conversation, offering her extensive knowledge and insights. Kastner's own connection to Julia Morgan began when she visited the famous Hearst Castle in Cambria, California as a young woman. Intrigued by the lack of information about the architect, Kastner became dedicated to uncovering Morgan's story. As the official historian of Hearst Castle for over three decades, Kastner's expertise is unparalleled. Her recently published book, "Julia Morgan, Architect of Beauty, An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect," provides an intimate look into Morgan's life and achievements. 

Julia Morgan's impact on the architectural landscape of America, particularly the West, cannot be overstated. She blazed a trail for women in the industry, being the first woman admitted to study architecture at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first woman licensed to practice architecture in California. With an impressive portfolio boasting around 700 creations, Morgan's most well-known masterpiece is the iconic Hearst Castle. Yet, she also left her mark with various buildings in Northern California, such as the Saratoga Foothill Clubhouse, Saratoga Federated Church Chapel, and the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. Morgan's achievements were acknowledged posthumously when she became the first female architect to receive the American Institute of Architects' Gold Medal award in 2014.

The event, to be held at the Saratoga Foothill Club in Saratoga, will provide attendees with a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Julia Morgan's life. Kastner will shed light on Morgan's close friendship with William Randolph Hearst, her profound appreciation for California's landscape, her struggles in a male-dominated field, and her unwavering dedication to architecture. Following the conversation, there will be a reception where attendees can meet the author and purchase signed copies of her book. Tickets are available for $15, and the event is scheduled for May 19, 2024. Don't miss the chance to discover the captivating story of Julia Morgan, a true trailblazer in the world of architecture.
