Description

One hundred miles north of San Francisco, the Sonoma County coast meets the Pacific Ocean in a magnificent display of nature. That is the location of the Sea Ranch, an area covering a couple of thousand acres of large, open meadows and forested natural settings and interspersed with award-winning architecture. The ecologically inspired plan drawn up for the Sea Ranch within the mid-1960s caused a quiet revolution in architecture. Renowned landscape designer Lawrence Halprin’s master plan incorporated a set of building guidelines that structured the visual, in addition to physical, have an effect on upon the landscape. Subsequent buildings by architects such as Joseph Esherick, Charles Willard Moore, Donlyn Lyndon, and William Turnbull have been recognized around the world for their remarkable environmental sensitivity. This revised and up to date edition of the now-classic monograph, the one one at the Sea Ranch, comprises eleven additional projects and an up to date account of the ongoing development process and land-management issues.
