KENDRICK (KEN) BANGS KELLOGG (1934-2024)
Kellogg was born in San Diego CA and grew up in Mission Beach. His family was involved with the Theosophical Society. He studied at San Diego State University, the University of Colorado, the University of Southern California, and the University of California at Berkeley. In 1955 he met Frank Lloyd Wright during a trip to Phoenix and Scottsdale with other architecture students. Kellogg came away from that brief encounter inspired. He completed math and engineering courses and left Berkeley without a degree, returning to work in San Diego for Sim Bruce Richards, Dale Naegle, and Frederick Liebhart. Kellogg founded the Organic Architecture Charitable Foundation in 1997. He designed several Chart House restaurants plus his own 1992 restaurant, Outryder, at 4444 Mission Boulevard, Pacific Beach CA. He was part of a 2014 "Three on the Edge" exhibit at the Mingei International Museum, which also included Wallace Cunningham and James Hubbell. Kellogg had a workshop on Palomar Mountain where he experimented with different structures. At one time he planned to start an architecture school there which never materialized.
His
architecture was based on principles over style, with nature
as his guiding light. Though he built many larger buildings
with substantial budgets, much of his work was average-sized
homes and remodels.
With second wife Freneva in 1991 | With David Hoshino in 1989 in Japan, for whom he designed a wedding chapel.
