Killingsworth studied at the School of Architecture of the University of Southern California, graduating in 1940. Between 1945 and 1953 he worked in partnership with Kenneth S. Wing in Long Beach, and in 1953 the firm of Killingsworth, Brady & Smith was founded with Jules Brady and Waugh Smith, which | |||
was renamed Killingsworth, Brady & Associates in 1963. Since 1977, the firm has been known as Killingsworth, Stricker, Lindgren, Wilson & Associates. A clear, straightforward geometry predominates in most of the buildings, with richly varied interior designs. Light, shade and reflective water basins play | |||
a major role. For the Case Study House program, he created a group of three houses in La Jolla, California (1959-60), each with its own individual character, but linked to the others by the use of the same materials and repetition of certain details. The two-story Case Study House #25 at Long Beach, | |||
California (1962), has an entrance door that runs the full height of the building, opening onto an interior courtyard covered with a wooden lath ceiling. From here, there is a view through the floor-to-ceiling glazing into the living quarters that open towards the courtyard. The stringent block of the Kahala Hilton Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii (1964), appears delicate because the concrete framework juts into the space beyond the building to support the extensive covered walkway on the roof. Hotel buildings soon became a focal point of the firm’s work. One of the most important projects, in collaboration with Sam Hurst, was the School of Architecture of the University of Southern California (1973). For 38 years, Killingsworth was in charge of planning in all building projects of the California State University at Long Beach. | |||
