Stanford, California

Stanford is a census-designated place in the northwest corner of Santa Clara County, California, United States. It is the home of Stanford University, after which it was named. The CDP's population was 21,150 at the 2020 census. Stanford is adjacent to the city of Palo Alto, which borders it to the east, but the CDP itself remains unincorporated. Most of the Stanford University campus and other core University-owned land is situated within the CDP of Stanford, though the Stanford University Medical Center, the Stanford Shopping Center, and the Stanford Research Park are officially part of the city of Palo Alto. Its resident population consists of the inhabitants of on-campus housing, including graduate student residences and single-family homes and condominiums owned by their faculty inhabitants but located on leased Stanford land. The adjacent neighborhood of College Terrace, a residential neighborhood with streets named after universities and colleges, is neither part of the Stanford CDP nor owned by the university. Instead, it is part of Palo Alto.

Historique

Après avoir visité la villa Taliesin de 1911 du célèbre architecte américain Frank Lloyd Wright, Paul Robert Hanna (en) et son épouse Jean Shuman (jeune couple de professeurs-écrivain américains, et leurs trois enfants) lui font construire cette villa de 330 m², sur terrain en pente vallonné et arboré de 6000 m², de l'université Stanford de Stanford-Palo Alto dans la Silicon Valley, près de la baie de San Francisco, ou ils vivent et enseignent.

Son style moderne-usonia-organique-Prairie School-Pacifique lodge-architecture californienne moderne est inspiré entre autres des alvéoles d'abeille (Honeycomb), et des villas locales avantgardistes Kings Road House (1922) et Lovell House (1927) de Rudolf Schindler, et Neutra VDL Studio and Residences (1932) de Richard Neutra, ainsi que des villa Taliesin (1911), maison sur la cascade (1935), Taliesin West (1937), et Jacobs I (1937) de Frank Lloyd Wright...

Les travaux débutent en 1937 et s'étendent sur 25 ans avec divers améliorations et agrandissements. La villa est construite avec des matériaux locaux : béton, bois de séquoia, brique rouge de San José, et verre, avec quatre chambres, trois salles de bains, nombreux mobiliers intégrés, toit-terrasse, terrasses carrelées, maison d'hôtes, piscine, et cascade d'eau... Après avoir vécu 38 ans dans cette demeure, le couple la cède en 1974 à l'université de Stanford, qui l'utilise depuis pour des réceptions ou des séminaires, et l'ouvre à la visite sur réservation. Construite sur la faille de San Andreas, la villa est gravement endommagée par le séisme de 1989 à Loma Prieta. Elle est alors classée National Historic Landmark de Californie, et entièrement restaurée durant 10 ans avec des renforcements parasismiques, jusqu'en 1999.
