[Identification of Item], Vernon DeMars Collection (2005-13) Environmental Design Archives,
University of California, Berkeley.
Vernon Armand DeMars was born in San Francisco, California, in 1908. He earned his Bachelor
of Arts in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1931. After jobs
with the National Park Service and travel in the U.S. and Europe, DeMars worked in the
offices of Clarence Mayhew (1935-36) and John Reid Jr (1935) and then went to work for the
Federal Resettlement Administration for two years (1936-37). He spent a year in charge of
planning and design of a small housing development company which was unsuccessful followed
by six months employment as Head Draftsman for the S.F. Bay Exposition Company working on
buildings for the Golden Gate International Competition. Between 1938 and 1943 he served as
the Architect for the USDA Farm Security Administration’s regional office in San Francisco.
The FSA provided housing to migrant farm workers, planned and built rural camps, schools,
clinics, and community centers, and constructed wartime housing for over 7000 military
personnel. During his tenure with the FSA, DeMars collaborated with landscape architects
Burton Cairns and Garret Eckbo, and planners Fran Violich and Corwin Mocine, to make lasting
contributions to the field of planning and low-cost housing design. Projects included the
Farm Workers’ Center at Yuba City, California, the Cooperative Farm and Workers’ Housing at
Chandler, Arizona, and the Woodville Farm Workers’ Center near Porterville, California.
In 1939, DeMars, and other designers including Burton Cairns, Joseph McCarthy, Garrett
Eckbo, T.J. Kent Jr., and Francis Violich co-founded Telesis, a city and regional planning
organization that was the inspiration for the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research
Association (SPUR), a public policy think tank on planning and government. He married Betty
Bates in the same year, with whom he collaborated on several major projects throughout his
career, including one in 1944-1945 that explored the possibilities of row housing and
greenbelt planning for the Ladies Home Journal. Betty created the interiors of the models
for a traveling exhibition based on the project, entitled "Tomorrow's Small House." She also
designed a series of banners for the 1967 opening of Zellerbach Hall at the University of
California, Berkeley.
In 1943 DeMars joined the National Housing Agency in Washington DC as Chief of Housing
Standards, where he was engaged in research on post-war housing. He subsequently served two
years with the Navy as Naval Aide to the Governor of Puerto Rico and advisor on Public
Works. After the war he remained on the East Coast and was recognized for his design
contributions to the Bannockburn housing cooperative near Washington DC, and the Eastgate
apartments in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which housed MIT faculty. From 1947-1949 he was
visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he got to know William
Wurster, Dean of the Architecture School.
In 1951 DeMars reestablished himself in Berkeley. He lectured in the Department of
Architecture for the College of Environmental Design for two years before becoming Professor
of Architecture in 1953. He chaired the Department from 1959-1962 and eventually became
Professor Emeritus upon his retirement in 1975. Before joining the UC Berkeley faculty he
consulted for the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency on Diamond Heights, Hunter's Point and
the Western Addition neighborhoods, and produced a report for the Mutual Security Agency’s
Special Housing program for miners in the Ruhr, Germany. During this period he also
collaborated with architect Donald Hardison on several projects in Richmond, California,
including Easter Hill Village public housing, which was noted for its attempt to bring
individuality to residences in a low-income development. He and Hardison would later submit
and win a joint-venture proposal in the competition for creating a new student center and
world-class auditorium at UC Berkeley.
DeMars and architect Donald P. Reay established the firm DeMars & Reay in 1955,
continued in 1966 as DeMars & Wells with John G. Wells, a principle in DeMars &
Reay. The firms’ emphasis was housing and community development and covered a wide range of
building types and planning problems, demonstrating a diversified architectural approach and
flexibility in design application over the next twenty-two years. Major projects
accomplished during DeMars’ tenure as principle with these firms included the Capitol Towers
apartments in Sacramento; San Francisco’s Golden Gateway Redevelopment project (with
Wurster, Bernardi & Emmons); Mililani New Town in Oahu, Hawaii; the Mt. Angel Abbey
Library (with architect Alvar Aalto); the University of California at Berkeley’s Student
Center and Zellerbach Hall, and the College of Environmental Design’s Wurster Hall. DeMars
& Wells dissolved in 1977 and was followed by DeMars & Maletic with principle Carl
Maletic. The firm's major project was championing the cause of rehabilitating the San
Francisco Ferry Building and expanding Embarcadero Plaza after the Embarcadero Freeway was
demolished in 1991. The project was a continuation of DeMars' longstanding interest in
Willis Polk's concept of creating a major plaza in front of the Ferry Building.
In addition to his many AIA awards, DeMars was a Fellow of the American Institute of
Architects, and received the Award of Honor for Design Excellence from the Bay Area Chapters
of the American Institute of Architects in salute to the Student Center and Zellerbach Hall
on the Berkeley campus as “in the tradition of the great European urban plazas and spaces.”
In 1975 he received the Berkeley Citation, the campus’ top honor, and in 1999 the College of
Environmental Design honored him as a distinguished alumnus. DeMars received a lifetime
achievement award from the American Institute of Architects and the Distinguished Alumni
Award from the College of Environmental Design in 2003. DeMars died in 2005.

Biographical clip files, Environmental Design Archives
This collection is organized into six seris: Personal Papers, Professional Papers, Faculty
Papers, Office Records, Project Records, Major Projects.
The Vernon DeMars Collection spans the years 1933 to 2001, and includes DeMars' personal
papers, records from his private practice and professional career, and materials generated
by the firms DeMars & Reay, DeMars & Wells, and DeMars & Maletic. The collection
is organized in six series: Personal Papers, Professional Papers, Faculty Papers, Office
Records, Project Records, and Major Projects.
The collection is extensive and contains a wide range of materials documenting DeMars' long
career as a designer and planner. The Personal Papers series contains biographical material,
personal correspondence, some financial records, documentation related to his service with
the Navy, student work, his art and illustrations, writings, and travel photographs and
portraits. Records related to DeMars' abiding anthropological interest in the Indians of the
southwest United States and his performances of Native American dances appear in this
series. A small number of artworks and photographs by DeMars’ wife, Betty Bates DeMars, are
also represented.
The Professional Papers series includes correspondence with other architects, awards, and a
mixture of records that include correspondence and presentation notes related to
professional organizations, committee work, and juries. Research and reference files are
extensively represented. Administrative and personnel documents from his work with
governmental agencies such as the National Housing Agency and the Mutual Security Agency are
represented, as well as records from the Telesis group. The Faculty Papers contain material
related to DeMars' professorship at the College of Environmental Design. Primarily, this
series contains official correspondence with other members of the UC Berkeley Architecture
faculty, committee work documentation, and course materials such as syllabi and lecture
notes from classes he taught.
The Office Records series documents administrative operations, public relations efforts,
financial transactions, and correspondence. Clippings from newspapers and tearsheets from
magazines in which DeMars’ projects were featured, and some photographs are included. This
series also contains the partnership and dissolution documents from each of the firms. The
majority of the Projects Records series documents DeMars & Reay and DeMars & Wells
projects spanning the years 1955-1977, and document the firms’ work through drawings,
photographs, administrative files, and models. The Major Projects series includes Farm
Security Administration, where a significant number of plans and drawings are retained.
Major Projects also includes the Old Sacramento Historic District, a long-term planning
commission that generated voluminous administrative files. The UC Berkeley sub-series is
extensive and includes each commission carried out on the UC Berkeley campus. The San
Francisco Performing Arts Center and the San Francisco Ferry Building and Embarcadero Plaza
proposals are also well documented, although DeMars' designs for them were not realized.
The collection was donated in 2005 by the Vernon DeMars Estate. The records had been housed
in a number of storage areas in the creator’s home and frequently removed from their
original files or mixed with other paper files. During processing a representative sample of
financial records was retained; and routine job correspondence was sampled. In some cases,
where documentation was scant, all material in a project file was retained. Ernest Born
drawings of the San Francisco Ferry Building and Embarcadero Plaza proposal were transferred
to the Ernest Born collection.
Within each series original order has been maintained wherever it was evident. However,
much of the material arrived with no evident order. Project documentation, especially for
ongoing projects such as the Student Center and various auditoriums, was interfiled in a
manner indicative of DeMars’ creative work process more than any formal organizational
method. Where an original order was not evident, records have been arranged either
chronologically or alphabetically as noted in the Series Description. The records for the
Sacramento Historic District were maintained in their original chronological order. All
projects appear on the Project Index.
