In a career spanning nearly sixty years, Ruth Shellhorn (1909-2006) helped shape Southern California's iconic modernist aesthetic. This is the first full-length treatment of Shellhorn, who created close to four hundred landscape designs, collaborated with some of the region's most celebrated architects, and left her mark on awide array of places, including college campuses and Disneyland's Main Street.

Kelly Comras tells the story of Shellhorn's life and career before focusing on twelve projects that explore her approach to design and aesthetic philosophy ingreater detail. The book's project studies include designs for Bullock's department stores and Fashion Square shopping centers; school campuses, including a multiyear master plan for the University of California at Riverside; a major Los Angeles County coastal planning project; the western headquarters for Prudential Insurance; residential estates and gardens; and her collaboration on the original plan for Disneyland.

Shellhorn received formal training at Oregon State and Cornell Universities and was influenced by such contemporaries as Florence Yoch, Beatrix Farrand, Welton Becket, and Ralph Dalton Cornell. As president of the Southern California chapter of ASLA, she became a champion of her profession, working tirelessly to achieve state licensure for landscape architects. In her own practice, she collaborated closely with architects to address landscape concerns at the earliest stages of building design, retained long-term control over the maintenance of completed projects, and considered the importance of the region's natural environment at a time of intense development throughout Southern California.

Shellhorn set a standard of creativity, productivity, and respect for the native landscape that defused gender stereotypes--and earned her the admiration of landscape designers then and now.

Beautiful and very very spacious
Size: One Size, Color: Seaweed, Size: One Size, Color: Seaweed
So spacious!! This could almost be an east-west style work bag if you are someone who uses an iPad rather than a laptop. A standard 11 inch iPad would fit in here no problem along with your basic essentials like your wallet and phone. Its could be too big as a daily bag for some, unless you carry a lot. But I like it as a daily option becuase I can fit a waterbottle and maybe a snack along with my essentials if I need to! It doesnt look too big though when worn, since it is a slouchier design and the leather is softer, it creates a cute crescent shape when worn. This makes it look slightly more compact since it folds in on itself a bit creating that cute slouchy shape. The leather is decent quality. I have 3 other kate spade bags and 7 coach bags, and this pebbled leather is actually a finer grain than the other kate spade bags I have (1 deco shoulder bag and 2 medium dumpling satchels). The pebbles in the leather are slightly smaller, i think this is so it has a more relaxed texture. I like the leather on this bag more than my other kate spade bags. It almost feels comparable to coach pebbled leather on the legacy bags. (even though they are under the same parent company, coach leather quality is often a bit better than kate spade.) I would highly reccomend this bag if you like the coach Brooklyn shoulder bag 28 or 34. This is a similar simple hobo/slouchy style that hangs close to the body and armpit, but is much more spacious and the pebbled leather will be much more durable than the fine grain leather on the brooklyn, which i have found scratches super easily. Plus, this has a zipper and 2 storage pockets internally for organization!! I would say this is worth the price if you get it on sale. Kate Spade often has great sales compared to coach bags, which rarely go on sale, and if they do, sell out super fast. Kate Spade bags last forever and I feel deserve just as much hype as coach bags for their fun styles and decent leather quality.
