Maybeck’s Landscapes: Drawing in Nature

Dianne Harris

While Maybeck's architectural career has been well documented, little writing has discussed and analyzed his ideas about landscape. Drawing in Nature delves into these ideas, along with his garden designs where he integrated houses and land. Also included are his grand landscape schemes for sites such as Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Maybeck produced stunning and at times gigantic pastel drawings, many of which are reproduced here in color.
