Central Santa Barbara offers a viable platform for fascinated minds to appreciate how the architecture at that time was conceived. The design of buildings, and details representing the relation each building had with the historical aesthetics of those times is also useful when studying the Hispanic architecture. For example, a roof design has a colonial design that can also be seen in colonial cities such as Cartagena, Mompox or San Juan in Puerto Rico. Santa Barbara has devoted a lot of energies to cultivate its obligation to the architectural conservation. New laws were introduced to cut the unsettling effect of new constructions on the agreement of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. New constructions, particularly in El Pueblo Viejo, must follow firm city guidelines and regulations to shrink a likely incompatibility with the historic architecture. When in Santa Barbara, Kenny Slaught proposes the observation of significant efforts that the city has made to add to the preservation of the splendid architecture, even if this does not display the American trend created in the area as an effect of the British presence in the area that substantially influenced how local architecture has arisen.

The Spanish Colonial Revival architecture was the United States architectural movement initiated in the early 20th century. The movement encompassed designing some cities that were primary Spanish colonies, which then became American cities, using the Spanish architectural style. A huge portion of this architectural style can be seen in California. Post an earthquake that occurred in 1925, Santa Barbara espoused this style as its signature line for re-designing the city.  Architect George Washington Smith who moved to Montecito and popularized this movement started this style. The history of El Pueblo Viejo aesthetic control remains genuine to Roman and Parisian laws. It aims to preserve history through the Hispanic architecture. But you may be curious as to what the Hispanic Architecture is all about. This style is outstandingly influenced by the architecture of the “white-washed cities” of Andalusia in Southern Spain. In Santa Barbara, local building techniques are a result of the natural environment and the materials available nearby. Kenny Slaught states that Hispanic architectural features in this area are represented by the “simplicity, rustic economy, excellence in craftsmanship and honest expression of material”. Forms introduced in Santa Barbara convey vernacular handmade quality oriented to the sunlight. Moreover, colors are also related with natural environment, yellow, red, orange and white that remains Santa Barbara’s weather.

Remarking on Hoover Dam’s history, Kenny Slaught says that the progressive structure was built during the American Great Depression phase, between 1931 and 1936, costing the government $49 million dollars. Previously, the dam was named Boulder Dam, but was later called Hoover Dam in the honor of the then-President Herbert Hoover, who had made big contributions to the creation of this astounding project. With 221 meters in height, 379 meters in length, and more than 35.000 cubic kilometers of full capacity, the massive structure could produce more than 4,2 billion kWh2 per year.

“These grants are meant to spur on new discoveries that could ultimately save millions of lives,” said Chris Wilson, director of Global Health Discovery at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. “GCE winners are expanding the pipeline of ideas for serious global health and development challenges where creative thinking is most urgently needed.” Where human lives are concerned, Slaught is convinced medical research and practice need expanding horizons for timely and holistic global health interventions.
