    This is by no means a guide to Berkeley, and has no intention
    of being complete or exhaustive. It is a lighthearted look at the
    architecture on UC Berkeley campus, the town of Berkeley and its
    surroundings. It is to be surprising for the outsider, at times funny
    at times pointing out contrasts. It is more of an artistic view at the
    area than an academic one. Views that surprise, good revivals of
    former styles and some interesting juxtapositions.
