One of the Bay Area's most significant 20th Century architects was Bernard Maybeck. He had a hand in the planning of the Berkeley campus, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Palace of Fine Arts. In response to the Berkeley fire of 1926 (? -- or so), in which a huge number of the houses he had designed in the Berkeley hills were consumed, he designed what is known as the Sack House, whose grounds became the world-renowned garden of Roger Raiche and his partner David (have forgotten last name), which I photographed extensively. It was called the Sack House because Maybeck built it by dipping gunny sacks into gunite (the form of concrete that is blasted on the sides of swimming pools) and using those for siding. There was a beautiful view of the Golden Gate bridge from the rooftop. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
