- Summary:
- The title does not make clear that this is an autobiography. Halprin (1916-2009) completed the manuscript in the last years of his life. It is a charming and vigorous narrative of life and work illustrated with family photos, drawings made during all phases of his life, and photos of projects. Laurie Olin (landscape architecture, U. of Pennsylvania) provides a foreword summarizing highlights of the great landscape architect's career, contributions, and legacy-- particularly his strong interest in a process of creation that reaches into the minds of many people. The book's format is horizontal (11x8.5)--elegantly designed in a manner that allows readers to walk through text and photos as if in the company of a highly creative and articulate friend.
