Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When 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 Midcentury 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 Neospanish Fantasy To Be Added Later By A Landscapist. Their Modern Gardens Made Use Of Lowmaintenance, Droughtresistant 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 Gardensand Their Accompanying Housesby These Celebrated Architects. Using Contemporary Photographs By Julius Shulman And Newly Commissioned Color Images, Along With Plans And Plant Lists, Private Landscapes Provides A Neverbeforeseen 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.
