EVENT OVERVIEW
At the heart of tilt-up’s origin story sits the iconic La Jolla Woman’s Club in La Jolla, California. Constructed in 1913, the project is one of the most celebrated works by famed American Architect Irving Gill, a pioneer of the modern architectural movement. The building, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, will serve as the centerpiece for the Tilt-Up Concrete Association’s first iteration of its new Tilt-Up Icon Tour series.
Limited tickets will be available soon for an exclusive and educational behind-the-scenes tour of several iconic tilt-up structures in San Diego, including a trio of award-winning buildings at the University of California San Diego and the campus of Francis Parker School. Each tour will be led by members of the project team as well as owner’s representatives. A memorable dinner event at the historic La Jolla Woman’s Club will anchor the tour. More information coming soon. Save the date and reserve your spot today!
Guests will stay at the luxurious La Valencia Hotel, a renowned landmark on La Jolla's distinctive Prospect Street, commanding the village bluffs with panoramic views of the Pacific coastline and beautiful La Jolla Cove.
