Geisel Library | UC San Diego

Last year me and my best friend visited her family in La Jolla, California for spring break. Her uncle, Nasser Pirasteh, is a well known sculpture artist in the city. He is a master of stone, wood, and plaster. He showed us many beautiful spots of San Diego’s modern architecture, and it was really hard to just choose one for the blog. I have been to other parts of California, and San Diego is by far my favorite. This city has a lot of character, and I hope to live here at some point later on in my life. UCSD is such a beautiful campus right by the pacific ocean. One of my favorite buildings there is the Geisel Library, and it looks just like a Lorax tree. At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but this building is actually a tribute to Theodore Geisel. You may know him better as Dr. Seuss! There is also a snake path that leads up to building. There are really no words to describe how beautiful both the exterior and interior are. Sometimes I wish I knew about this place sooner so maybe I could have gone to UCSD instead (just kidding). I do love the brutalist architecture that is displayed here, and I want to go back just to explore more of it!
