Lawrence Halprin: Notebooks 1959–1971

Muriel Cooper, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1972

Description

This collection of excerpts from the architect’s sketch books was loosely conceived as a facsimile. The problem was to express the personal spirit of the man and the material in as integrated a form as possible, and to avoid the “false facsimile” approach.

Special features: Printed labels on front and back cover applied in blind stamped areas. Also yellow pigment stamping on spine and back cover.

Collections: Fifty Books of the Year (1973)
Discipline: Book design
Format: Book
