In June 1965, architecture firm William Pereira & Associates was asked to design UC San Diego’s main library, now known as Geisel Library -- named after children's book author "Dr. Seuss," Theodor Seuss Geisel. The building's distinctive inverted-pyramid architecture, described as occupying "a fascinating nexus between brutalism and futurism," has resulted in its being featured in the UC San Diego logo and becoming the most recognizable building on campus.
