Description
You know when you go to an impressive Modernist building, part of what’s impressive is more than just the structure. The landscape all around the building, from the sidewalks to the signage to the plants to how the sun hits everything just right – this is the stuff that the general public often takes for granted. But it doesn’t happen by accident, and it’s not typically part done by the building’s main architect. What often takes a building from good to great is an important profession called landscape architecture. Poolside in Palm Springs, George talks with Roderick Wyllie and James Lord, partners with the award-winning San Francisco-based landscape design firm SurfaceDesign. Later on, some high-quality time with Durham jazz recording artist Al Strong.
