Book Description
The work of Bernard Maybeck has influenced generations of architects. His landmark buildings include the Palace of Fine Arts and First Church of Christ, Scientist. His emphasis on an open use of natural materials marks him as a pioneer in sustainable architecture, or “green design.” Maybeck's work achieves that delicate balance between historicism and modernism, and his buildings are still in use throughout several states on the West Coast and the Midwest. This book includes more than two dozen Maybeck buildings that have never been photographed in color in any other book, as well as several of his buildings that were never documented before. Architect of Elegance not only encompasses his most memorable works but also includes letters and drawings from the family archives never before seen by the general public. The foreward is written by Maybeck's granddaugther, Cherry Maybeck Nittler. Author Mark Wilson's 22-year friendship with Bernard Maybeck's daughter-in-law, Jacomena Maybeck, gave him unique insights into the life and work of one of America's most important architects.

Here, in this short-form book by Richard Reinhardt, is his remarkable story.

Book Description
Bernard Maybeck is one of the pivotal figures in the regionalist architecture of the San Francisco Bay area. He was also an architect in the tradition of the artist: versatile, colourful, inventive and eclectic. With First Church of Christ, Scientist, Berkeley, Maybeck was drawn by his client's sincere demand to have a church which expressed the congregation's deep-seated faith, and looked not only to Romanesque, Gothic and Byzantine forms, but also to contemporary Arts and Crafts philosophies to create an edifice which would evoke the 'reinstatement of primitive Christianity', a guiding objective of Christian Science. Maybeck's design has a convincing unity which contains and far transcends its sources. Massive concrete piers are in counterpoint to large expanses of translucent industrial sash, and the rich, Medieval interior comes to brilliant life through a hierarchy of intricately applied colour. The reverence for detail is complete, from carved beams to delicate pew lamps and gilded tracery.

Book Description
Julia Morgan, America’s first truly independent female architect, left a legacy of more than 700 buildings, many of which are now designated landmarks, in cities throughout California, as well as in Hawaii, Utah, and Illinois. Her work spanned five decades, and the total of her commissions was greater than any other major American architect, including Frank Lloyd Wright. This book tells the remarkable story of this architectural pioneer, and features text, drawings, and photographs of the many buildings that still exist.
