One of the world's leading landscape architects and environmental planners, Lawrence Halprin has long been at the forefront of design innovation in the United States. His practice comprises a catalogue of leading-edge environmental design in projects ranging from inner urban centers to National Parks. His reputation is built on over fifty years of expanding our expectations for the environmental realm. 

Through his philosophy of design, his books and lectures, Halprin moved far outside of the confines traditionally imposed by his field. By his experiments in dance and choreography with his wife, Anna Halprin, he discovered a methodology for involving community in the design process. These early experiments were described in his book RSVP Cycles (Brazilier, 1969) and they remain a primer for all those interested in sources of design and creativity.

Artist’s Statement
This is the view of the horizon from my home at The Sea Ranch. I have drawn it hundreds of times. It is always remarkable and always different.
