Interview: Lawrence Halprin was interviewed in March 2003, and March and December 2008 by Charles A. Birnbaum at the Office of Lawrence Halprin (initially on Battery Street in San Francisco and later in Larkspur, California); the Halprin home and dance deck in Kentfield, California; and Sea Ranch, California and on-site at locations in and around San Francisco.
Reflections: Following Larry Halprin’s death on October 25, 2009, TCLF contacted clients and associates of the Office of Lawrence Halprin requesting they share their memories of Larry. Many responded enthusiastically. In addition to these letters, we have included eulogies from Halprin’s December 20 memorial service in San Francisco, by Charles A. Birnbaum, Donlyn Lyndon, John Parsons and Jahan Khalighi, Halprin’s grandson.
