<p>Since 1976, David M. Schwarz/Architectural Services has established an international reputation for acutely sensitive urbanism, architecture, historic preservation, interiors, furniture, and decorative arts, reinvigorating the notion of a comprehensive design practice against the currents of ever-contracting professional specialization. From its early years completing commercial and residential commissions, the firm has extended its portfolio to health-care, institutional, cultural, academic, and sports architecture while resolving physical issues of increasing complexity in urban and, more recently, suburban environments. This book presents a retrospective of the firm's work over its first 25 years. From its first office and apartment developments in the firm's hometown of Washington, D.C., to its progressive but tradition-steeped designs in Texas of the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall and the Ballpark in Arlington, to its landmark Environmental Sciences Center at Yale University, the firm makes its priorities clear.</p>

Gardening & Landscape Design

Japanese influenced American Garden designPresenting 14 gardens by the award-winning West Coast landscape architect Ron HermanHerman has been a major influence on the design and evolution of private gardens in North AmericaIncludes beautifully illustrated garden plans by the noted garden illustrator Chip SullivanDuring his 35-plus year career, Herman has created more than four hundred full-scale garden designs, including many of the U.S.'s largest and most intricate residential gardensA multitude of ideas for readers' own gardensThe fourteen gardens presented in this book by landscape architect Ron Herman provide a rich sampling of the work of a man who, in his own words, has been "involved in gardening and plants for most of my life. When I was growing up in Southern California, I worked with my father, who was a nurseryman, horticulturalist, and garden builder." He later went on to study landscape architecture at UC Berkeley and the University of Kyoto and then began a several decades-long career as one of the most distinguished and celebrated landscape architects in the United States. Heavily influenced by his experiences in Japan, a country he has returned to often, Herman's gardens are nevertheless an eclectic mix of styles and approaches that reflect his broad view of garden design.
