One hundred miles north of San Francisco; the Sonoma County coast meets the Pacific Ocean in a magnificent display of nature. This is the location of the Sea Ranch; an area covering several 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 in 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; as well as physical; impact upon the landscape. Subsequent buildings by architects such as Joseph Esherick; Charles Willard Moore; Donlyn Lyndon; and William Turnbull have been recognized worldwide for their remarkable environmental sensitivity. This revised and updated edition of the now-classic monograph; the only one on the Sea Ranch; contains eleven additional projects and an updated account of the ongoing development process and land-management issues.
