Chapter 1: 1925 - The beginning

The first time renowned architect Rudolph Weaver stepped on the UF campus, we can only imagine what his impression was. Weaver was recruited to the university to lead the newly established School of Architecture and to serve as architect for the university and the Florida Board of Control. Weaver not only made his mark on the UF campus, but also, built the foundation of architecture education for the university that would shape the built and natural environments throughout Florida.
From the UF's Historic Campus website:
"Weaver's understanding of the importance of the continuity of the campus image may be seen in his inscription on the back of a photograph of his addition to the Library, 'This indicates my effort to carry out and maintain the character of another architect's work.'"

Ron Haase, FAIA, professor emeritus at SoA, has a new book coming out this fall about Florida architecture. His book, The Last House, tells the fictional story of a couple who builds four houses throughout the years of their marriage, each one in a different part of Florida. The book explores what Haase calls the “four faces of Florida,” which include the North Florida cracker influence, Sarasota’s regional modernism, the Art Deco qualities of South Florida and the Spanish Colonial in St. Augustine.
