Buildings in the landscape

Apart from 'A Place of Houses, see earlier blog and several Frank Lloyd Wright books, I don't seem to come across many American house design books but I recommend William Turnbull's 'Buildings in the Landscape'. He worked Charles Moore et al on the Californian Sea Ranch project back in the 70s. OK there's lots of land there and plainly rather less planning restrictions, but the buildings are most interesting...double height living and circulation spaces, timber frame, with timber cladding in most cases, good planning with of course views to the ocean from big bay windows.
I managed to pick up my remaindered copy in York bookshop, but they are available via abebooks.co.uk from the states, quite cheaply, though the postage is steep...to be recommended though. About £20 inc P+P...good luck all
