Authors on Architecture: Chamberlin and O’Hara on California Eden
SAH/SCC Zoom Program
Sunday, July 28, 2024
Join Susan Chamberlin, ASLA, and Christine Edstrom
O’Hara as they present their new book, California
Eden: Heritage Landscapes of the Golden State (Angel City Press, 2024). For
many people, the concept of landscape is associated with gardens, especially estate
gardens. California Eden reaches far beyond the elite circle of private estates;
this book highlights a wide range of landscapes from the professional to the vernacular
through exceptional essays by distinguished landscape historians (including
SAH/SCC Advisory Board Member Ann Scheid). Beyond its breathtaking vistas, the book
delves deep into the cultural and historical significance of these landscapes, revealing
the untold stories of the people who have inhabited and shaped them over the centuries.
Chamberlin is a landscape historian and a licensed
landscape architect with a degree in landscape architecture from the University
of California, Berkeley, and master’s degree
in architectural history from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is
a founding member of the California Garden & Landscape History Society and a
former adjunct faculty member of Santa Barbara City College, where she taught garden
history.
O’Hara
is a professor of landscape architecture at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. She received
her BA in English from Stanford
University,
Master of Landscape Architecture from University of Washington (Seattle), and PhD in Landscape Architecture from University
of Edinburg (Scotland).
In addition to teaching, Prof. O’Hara has had a landscape design practice for more
than 25 years. Within that
practice, she consults on the restoration and preservation of historic landscapes
by writing National Register nominations.
