Lawrence Halprin Retrospective Opens in Washington, D.C.

The exhibition, which is a the third in a series of collaborations between the museum and The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF), presents Halprin's career in five segments: Early Residential Gardens, A Transition to the Public Realm, Modernist Era, Postmodernist Era, and Capstone Projects. Beginning with small-scale projects such as the Lehman House garden in Kentfield, Calif. (a collaboration with architect Joseph Esherick), the scope of the projects shown in the exhibition grows with works such as Ghirardelli Square, United Nations Plaza, and Levi's Plaza in San Francisco; Freeway Park in Seattle ("the first freeway to have been 'capped' with a park," according to the exhibition text); and the Los Angeles Open Space Network.
