Through her remarkable life and legacy, this book celebrates the Beaux-Arts architecture of California. Focusing on Morgan's most famous project in the state, Hearst Castle, to which she devoted more than 30 years of her life, this volume also examines, for the first time, Morgan's fabulous early buildings in the style. Morgan designed more than 700 buildings across California, many of which are designated landmarks today. Deepening the reader's understanding of California architecture, this book also places into context Morgan's ambitions, her influences and inspirations, as well as her daily practice and challenges as a woman shaping an extraordinarily prolific and highly successful career in a man's world. Also explored, in detail, is the story of how the studio and kilns of California Faience, a Berkeley ceramic artisan's shop, became the supplier of tens of thousands of tiles designed by Morgan and overseen by Hearst himself to decorate their architectural master-piece overlooking the Pacific Ocean." "A survey of the life and architecture of Julia Morgan, as well as the architecture of the times in which she lived, especially in Paris and California"-- |
