Balboa Park began in 1868 when San Diego's civic leaders dedicated 1,400 prime acres to create an urban oasis. Originally the land, crisscrossed with canyons and dominated by native scrub, was called simply "City Park." In later years, Balboa Park hosted two successful world expositions: the 1915-1916 Panama-California Exposition and the 1935-1936 California Pacific International Exposition. The unique evolution of the park included occupation by the U.S. Navy, a zoo, a Native American village, and even a nudist colony. Balboa Park also suffered periods of neglect and demolition before citizens groups united to save and restore the beloved Spanish Colonial Revival buildings.

This thesis analyzes how Balboa Park has transformed as an urban space throughout the twentieth century. Both the function and myth of the park were tightly controlled by the elites of San Diego during the early 1900s. This included a nostalgic Spanish theme and construction of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition and the dual themes of progress and beauty during the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition. The Navy's use of the buildings and grounds during both world wars also demonstrate the top down control of Balboa Park. The mid to late twentieth century marks a departure of this top down control, as diversification led to a pluralist and democratic use. Examples of this include control of Balboa Park given to publicly elected city officials, ethnic and social diversification. Groups like the Toltecas en Atzlan established the Centro Cultural de Ia Raza during the 1970s to counter the ethnocentric cultural organizations then established in Balboa Park. The thesis focuses on two periods of Balboa Park and includes an electronic component in the form of a website. The exposition years, from 1910 to 1936, examine how and why city elites were able to control the development of the park. The second period, the 1970s and 1980s, illustrates the elimination of complete control by the elites. The website acts as a repository for online resources, includes a visual essay on the transformation of the park, and provides a historical narrative beyond the two periods analyzed in the written section.

The 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal and first introduced the city of San Diego to a wider international audience. Balboa Park became the featured centerpiece. The core park layout today remains essentially the same as during the original fair. Later constructed buildings and venues have expanded the variety of attractions. The majority of buildings introduced during the first exposition outside of the California Quadrangle were temporary by intent, constructed in wood and plaster. Most of these remained standing for nearly eighty years even during a subsequent fair in 1935-36. Eventually each of these structures would be demolished and reconstructed with sturdier materials. The fresher building designs remained identical to the previous temporary structures. Integrated throughout the initial Exposition design were a variety of European architectural styles. For southern California spectators, this diverse assortment would result in popularizing Spanish-Renaissance styling throughout the region. Decades of similarly themed constructions followed and dominated the region's architecture. It is not an extended stretch to suggest the genesis of contemporary California style had its birth from the Exposition. Balboa Park Architecture is an extensive photographic survey of the structures introduced during the 1915-16 Exposition. The edition escorts the reader through an intimate tour of the El Prado pedestrian walkway from the current Laurel Street Bridge to the Bea Evenson Fountain. Detailed images of exterior building finishes and the structures offer an insightful glimpse of lead architect Bertram Goodhue's vision. Goodhue is credited with introducing a wider American audience to the traditional Spanish Baroque and Spanish Colonial styles of architecture. Blending these influences with Italian Churrigueresque style, he fashioned a hybrid that would become known as the Spanish Colonial Revival form. This fusion became a dominant theme within the El Prado Quadrangle's layout during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park. The exposure and success of Exposition became a highly influential factor in the development of a distinct Southern California style of architecture. The Spanish Colonial Revival style became the predominant design in the rebuilding of Santa Barbara following a devastating 1925 earthquake. The style remains prevalent throughout California and the Southwestern United States. Following the Exposition, Goodhue's creations became increasingly freed of architectural detail and considered more Romanesque in form. He worked towards a more synthesized and simplistic design many credit as paving the next phase of architectural idioms. Where this direction may have evolved was abruptly terminated upon his premature death. Goodhue died abruptly at the age of 54 in New York City. He was buried within a wall vault at his Church of the Intercession in Manhattan on the border of the Harlem and Washington Heights neighborhoods. Sculptor Lee Lawrie created a Gothic stylized tomb for him.

In 1915, San Diego stepped into the international spotlight with the staging of the Panama-California Exposition on land that only a few years prior to the opening was a dusty park on the outskirts of downtown. A century later, Bertram Goodhue's vision of a romantic "city" of richly ornamented Mexican and Spanish-Colonial style buildings still captivates visitors to Balboa Park, which has also grown and changed through the years. Another exposition, the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, added a new layer of history, buildings and gardens to the park with the vision of master architect Richard Requa.In commemoration of the centennial of the Panama-California Exposition, "The Art Traveler Guide, A Portrait of Balboa Park," outlines a walking tour of the Balboa Park's most significant historical buildings and gardens. Original paintings, done in acrylic on canvas or paper, by RD Riccoboni vividly illustrate each landmark, and a forward by Bruce Coons, executive director of Save Our Heritage Organisation, introduces the colorful history of this San Diego gem.The tour begins at the historical Marston House in the northwest corner of Balboa Park and crosses Cabrillo Bridge to enter the core of the park through the Atlantic Pacific Arch. From the central corridor of El Prado to Spanish Village, the Spreckels Organ Pavilion and the Palisades area that includes the Ford Building and the Santa Fe Building, each corner of the park has its own story to tell.The tour ends at the House of Pacific Relations, a cluster of cottages built in 1935 to promote peaceful harmony between representatives of the nations that occupy the buildings.

Inspired by Chicago’s successful 1893 World Columbian Exposition, the cities of Portland, Seattle, San Diego, and San Francisco all held fairs between 1905 and 1915. From the start of the Lewis and Clark Exposition to the close of the Panama-California Exposition a decade later, millions of Americans visited exhibits, watched live demonstrations and performances, and wandered amusement zones. Millions more thumbed through brochures or read news articles. Fair publicity directors embraced the emerging science of consumer marketing. Conceived to attract new citizens, showcase communities, and highlight farming and industrial opportunities, the four expositions’ promotional campaigns and vendor and exhibit choices offer a unique opportunity to examine western leaders’ perceptions of their city and region, as well as their future goals and how they both fed and tried to mitigate misconceptions of a wild, wooly West. They also expose biased attitudes toward Native Americans, Mexican Americans, Filipinos, and others. Boosting a New West explores the fairs’ cultural and social meaning by focusing on and comparing the promotions that surrounded them. It details their origins and describes why each city chose to host, conveying the expected economic, social, and cultural benefits. It also shows how organizers articulated their significance to urban, regional, and national audiences, and how they attempted to shape a new western identity.
