The Sea Ranch: Fifty Years of Architecture, Landscape, Place, and Community on the Northern California Coast

The ecologically inspired planning and innovative architecture created at The Sea Ranch in the mid-1960s caused a quiet revolution in architecture. When the region, a former sheep ranch and lumbering area, was rediscovered for its beauty in the 1960s, it was radically developed as a community that would exist in harmony with its environment. This revised and updated edition of the now-classic monograph contains ten additional projects without sacrificing any of the originally included, lavishly illustrated work. New projects include work by many of the same renowned architects. Also including an updated account of the ongoing development process and land management issues, the revision proves the continued relevance of The Sea Ranch as it enters its fiftieth year--and this monograph remains its definitive portrait.
