Lawrence Halprin: The choreography of private gardens
The private gardens designed by Lawrence Halprin responded to evolving social circumstances within the United States after World War II. Along with contemporaries such as Garrett Eckbo, Robert Royston, Douglas Baylis and the more firmly established Thomas Church, Halprin sought to provide outdoor living environments that fulfilled the needs of a new middle-class. Though each of these designers experimented with similar aesthetic devices, such as interpenetrating planes borrowed from Cubism and De Stijl, biomorphic forms associated with surrealism, as well as ubiquitous curves and zig-zags, the program was fundamentally social.
