Landscape for Living (California Architecture and Architects, No. 23)

This desirable book was first published in 1950 and has long been out of print. Educated at Harvard and UC Berkeley, Eckbo created garden and landscape designs that were instrumental in establishing the new modernist spirit that infused California architecture and design during and after WWII. This book is a survey of Eckbo's work, both civic and private, and a fascinating overview of the history and practice of landscape design. The book includes his collaborations with A. Quincy Jones and Gregory Ain.
