Description: About this productProduct InformationWhen we think of the gardens of Southern California, we tend to think of the enormous semiarid landscapes of the Huntington and Rancho Los Alamitos, often built on the sprawling grounds of former ranches. But there is another garden tradition in Southern California: the modest, rectangular suburban plots designed by the most famous architects of mid-century modernism: Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Gregory Ain, Raphael Soriano, Harwell Hamilton Harris, A. Quincy Jones, and John Lautner. These architects saw the garden as an outdoor extension of the space of the houses they designed, rather than a neo-Spanish fantasy to be added later by a "landscapist." Their modern gardens made use of low-maintenance, drought-resistant plants, and made room for informal outdoor living by children and adults with an emphasis on recreation and exercise. The first book of its kind, "Private Landscapes" profiles twenty significant gardens-and their accompanying houses-by these celebrated architects. Using contemporary photographs by Julius Shulman and newly commissioned color images, along with plans and plant lists, Private Landscapes provides a never-before-seen look at these gardens. As beautiful and practical now as they were 50 years ago, these designs continue to provide inspiration for gardeners and designers everywhere.Product IdentifiersPublisherPrinceton Architectural PressISBN-101568984022ISBN-139781568984025eBay Product ID (ePID)2360338Product Key FeaturesBook TitlePrivate Landscapes : Modernist Gardens in Southern CaliforniaAuthorMarie Botnick, Pamela BurtonFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicLandscape, General, Garden DesignPublication Year2003GenreArchitecture, GardeningNumber of Pages192 PagesDimensionsItem Length11.8in.Item Height0.8in.Item Width9.3in.Item Weight45.2 OzAdditional Product FeaturesAge Range13-UpLc Classification NumberSb466.U65c373 2003Grade fromEighth GradeGrade toCollege Graduate BeginnerCopyright Date2003Target AudienceTradeLccn2002-010638Dewey Decimal712/.6/097949Dewey Edition21IllustratedYes
