Julia Morgan: Architect of Beauty Book

Last month I visited Hearst Castle in California. Though it was beautiful I was more interested in the architect than the building; back in the early 1920's women architects were not common. I was curious about Julia Morgan, and ordered this book from my library. Written by the son of Julia Morgan's assistant, the writing is not inspired but the photography of buildings and rooms that Ms. Morgan designed is wonderful, and it was interesting to learn more about the woman who created so many beautiful places. If you've been To Hearst Castle I recommend this book. If you haven't I recommend it anyway. The book is beautiful as are the spaces, and you'd be surprised, they aren't all castles..she designed regular buildings and smaller homes as well.
