Description
The Professional Papers contain biographical material, files related to awards, travel, and Ciampi's participation in the
1959 architects creativity study conducted by U.C. Berkeley's Institute for Personality Assessment & Research. The Office
Records consist primarily of publicity materials such as tear sheets and clip files of Ciampi's work. Reference files related
to specific aspects of the San Francisco Downtown Plan are also included in this series. The Project Record Series contains
a disappointing assortment of pieces such as a few mounted drawings of his ideas for San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center and
Ferry Plaza/Embarcadero, printed planning reports, and a few drawings for projects such as S.F. Union Square, the Berkeley
Art Museum, and Yerba Buena Center. Fortunately the records contain photographs and slides that present a more comprehensive
view of Ciampi's important early work with public schools and churches.
