Summary:

"The ecologically inspired planning and innovative architecture created at The Sea Ranch in the mid-1960s caused a quiet revolution in architecture. Located a hundred miles north of San Francisco, The Sea Ranch, which covers several thousand acres of large, open meadows and forested natural settings, meets the Pacific Ocean in a magnificent display of nature.
This monograph, illustrated with over three hundred new photographs by Jim Alinder and including maps, plans, detailed descriptions of selected houses, an account of the development process and land management issues, as well as essays by Donald Canty and Lawrence Halprin, presents the definitive portrait of The Sea Ranch."--Jacket.
