But the next year, when a client asked her to help him with the le- gal details of his new business in San Diego, she jumped at the op- portunity to come back to Southern California. She passed the bar in 1986 and joined the Rancho Bernardo firm a year-and-a-half ago. Farnaes-Lindgern said her flu- ency in Danish is beneficial when dealing with European clients who now live here.

Commentary and restaurints. Look instead at San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium It is on of the few structures in town with genuine modern muscle. Old Town: Shop, eat and make merry at Bazaar del Mundo, an ex- quisitely designed complex, but also take a walk over to the Casa de Es- tudillo. It has 5-foot-thick plastered adobe walls and 12 restored rooms that give a good idea of how rich people lived here at the beginning. Look at the new Old Town shops and offices and see how contemporary designers are borrowing from the past. Grade th m accordingly. Visit the El Campo Santo, the old Spanish cemetery on San Diego Ave- nue. It contains the graves of mem- bers of many distinguished families and several executed prisoners. En-

Look t the ter1or and lobby of San Di go Tru t & Savings Bank, where architects in 1927 tried to revive ro- mdnce and succeeded. Check out the wect old building in the Gaslamp Quarter and decide whether they hould be replac d with high-rises. Balboa Park: Spend a day with th original Hispanic-influenced stru tur built for the 1915 Panama Caltfornia Exposition by ew York architect Bertram Goodhue Snoop round to th 1r b cksides to ee how th Park nd Recreation Depart• ment take care of them.

century by the Theosophist Society; a few of the domes, a Greek am- phitheater and other unusual rem- nants remain. All Soul's Episcopal Church at 1475 Catalina Blvd. con- tains a stained-glass window wall by James Hubbell that is worthy of contemplation. La Jolla: The greatest concentra- tion of Irving Gill architecture is near the corner of Prospect and Sil- verado: The La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, Woman's Club, recreation center and the Bishop's School. See the Pueblo Ribera Apart- ment• at 230 Gravilla St. built in 1923. Although the landscaping is overgrown and the buildings de- signed by Rudolf Schindler are

charred by fire around the edges, they are San Diego's most valuable residential ruin. The concept of in- door-outdoor living and the genius of the clustered development are im- portant lessons for today's builders. The Salk lnslitute at 10010 N. Torrey Pines Road is the No. 1 stop of international architects on tour. Stand in the courtyard and feel how the architect merged concrete and space with the vibrant skies over the Pacific. On the days San Diego and Los Angeles smog blows toward Denver and El Centro, a few moments at Salk remind you of what San Diego light used to be like. - -- -- -• 'T'\..:n ;,. -

church by late San Diego artist Bent Antofte and his son-in-Jaw, Jeff Dalyrymple. Pause a moment and recognize the good sense exhibited by the uni- versity's founders when they ac- quired this hilltop. Present-day de- velopers would sell their first-born child for the rights to these views. This is another perfect place to get a feeling for the way the city of can- yons and rolling hills meets the many inlets of the Pacific. Point Loma: Some of the better California Pacific and modern homes are in this area, but the tnp wouldn't be complete without a drive through the campus of Point Loma College overlooking the cliffs. It was built at the beginning of the

closing the cemetery is one of the nicer adobe walls in town. Linda Visla: Check out the Linda Vista Library at Comstock and Ulric streets designed by Rob Quigley. It proves that modern architecture did not end in San Diego with Irving Gill. Play of light, geometry and a personal statement are all in thi~ building. Go through the campus of the University of San Diego nearby. You know you're going the right di- rection when you see the blue dome of the church on the hill. The univer- sity is a mix of new and old Spanish reinterpretations, but the wrought- iron work and sensitive scale make it unusual. Take a moment to ad- mire the stained-glass work in the
