Join us for an eye-opening lecture on why buildings fell during the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake. Using simple, everyday language, and historic photographs local structural engineers, Sage Shingle S.E. and Jasper Jacobs S.E. of T&S Structural Engineers, will evaluate the key reasons why many downtown structures collapsed—and what lessons we’ve learned since. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about earthquake safety, this talk will give you valuable insights into how buildings stand (or fall) when the ground shakes. Don’t miss this fascinating look at Santa Barbara’s past and how it shaped the city we know today.
