New to the AIA East Bay/William Stout Bookstore: Maybeck's Landscapes: Drawing in Nature, by Dianne Harris.
San Francisco, 2005. While Maybeck's architectural career has been firmly established, little writing has discussed and analyzed his ideas about landscape: here taken to include his garden designs-by which he integrated house and land-as well as his grand landscape schemes for sites such as Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Maybeck produced stunning-and at times gigantic-pastel drawings, many of which are reproduced here in color.
This beautiful book is available at 1405 Clay Street, Oakland, 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday.
