Maybeck straddled the most important developments in California architecture of his time. From his earliest rustic shingled houses in the Berkeley hills through his work on the University of California campus, to his most famous works, the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco and the First Church of Christ Scientist, and culminating in his modernist masterpiece, San Francisco's Family Services Building, Maybeck eclectically combined styles and methods that ranged from the Gothic through Arts and Crafts to steel and concrete. His spiritual vision still inspired architects and those who love the built environment of California.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Great architect but the book could use some work,
This review is from: Bernard Maybeck. Artisan, Architect, Artist (Paperback)
Cardwell does a good job discussing Maybeck's life and work and his effect on Bay Area architecture. Unfortunately, the pictures are black and white and they lack the punch that other Maybeck books have because of that. If you're interested in Maybeck however, it might be worth reading what Cardwell has to say about him given his close, personal relationship with him.
