April 28, 2008–September 30, 2008 Building in the Landscape: The Sea Ranch and Making Places Exploring the concept of making places, this exhibit focuses on the Sea Ranch, and on Donlyn Lyndon's work in other areas. Lyndon's works explore the idea that "environment is that piece of reality which gets through to us," and the things that enter, "our selected environment should help us to 'place' ourselves specifically in a broad context." Nowhere is this more evident than in the work that he did with MLTW at the Sea Ranch, and which he continues to do there and in other locations. The exhibit includes highlights from the Environmental Design Archives and Environmental Design Library collections, such as original sketches, photographs, ephemera and books. Curated by Waverly Lowell (Curator) and Miranda Hambro (Assistant Curator) of the Environmental Design Archives and Elizabeth Byrne (Head), Debbie Sommer, and Matthew Prutsman of the Environmental Design Library.
