Biographical / Historical
Bernard Judge (1931-2021) is a Los Angeles architect who was born in New York City and grew up in Fontainbleau, France; Managua,
Nicaragua; and Mexico City. His father was an architect and helped Judge obtain a job, after high school, working with Harrison
and Abramovitz on the United Nations building in New York City. After attending L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Judge completed
his architectural studies at the University of Southern California (USC) in 1960.
While still a student at USC, Judge began working on the "Triponent/Dome House" inspired by the geodesic domes designed by
Buckminster Fuller. Judge built the Dome House himself, with the help of USC fellow students, in the Hollywood Hills and lived
there for a short period. Several architectural journals and popular publications published the Dome, including the
Los Angeles Times Home Magazine.
Judge started his own architectural firm, The Environmental Systems Group, in 1965. He concentrated on residential and commercial
design with a focus on local environments and culture. Judge also has done preservation work. He developed the first detailed
study for saving and preserving Rudolph Schindler's King's Road House, where Judge had lived during the 1960s. In 1968, he
began work on his own, second, Los Angeles residence, which he called the Tree House, for which he was awarded a U.S. patent.
The house, a prototype designed to be suitable in various terrains, as a single dwelling or grouped for multiple dwellings,
was featured in
Sunset magazine, among other publications. His focus on environmentally sensitive design led to a decades long project beginning
in the 1970s for the actor Marlon Brando, who wanted to build a resort on the Tahitian atoll of Tetiaroa. Not all of Judge's
plans for Tetiaroa were realized, but he continued to work on the project until the 1990s. Judge published a memoir in 2011,
Dancing with Brando, which describes the project and his experiences in Tahiti and with Brando. Bernard Judge died on November 15, 2021 in the
Triponent/Dome house.
Scope and Contents note
The Bernard Judge papers span 40 linear feet and date from circa 1959 to circa 1999. The collection includes his personal
papers, correspondence, research files, newspaper and magazine clippings, photographs, sketches, architectural drawings and
presentation boards. The bulk of the material relates to three projects which served as intensive research and design experiences
for Judge: the Dome house; the Tree House; and designs for Marlon Brando of a residence and resort in Tahiti, on Tetiaroa.
The collection also includes drawings and other materials related to nearly 20 other projects designed by Judge for sites
in the U.S., Canada, and Tahiti.

The collection is organized in five series: personal papers, Dome house, Judge house, other architectural projects, and Tetiaroa.

Physical Description: 4.149 Linear Feet(2 half record storage boxes, 1 oversize box and 3 flat files)
Scope and Contents
The Dome house was designed and built by Judge when he was still a student in the School of Architecture at the University
of Southern California (USC). After meeting Buckminster Fuller and explaining to him his plan for using a geodesic dome
for a hillside house, Fuller gave Judge parts of a dome that had been constructed earlier by some of Fuller's students. Using
the parts, Judge designed and built, with USC fellow students, a house for himself and his wife in the Hollywood Hills of
Los Angeles. It became well-known through published photographs in the
Los Angeles Times and
Life magazine, as well as other publications. Files contain papers, clippings, photographs, and drawings related to Judge's research,
calculations, planning, design, and building of the Dome house.
