Vernacular architecture amidst the California landscape is captured eloquently by David Stark Wilson s appreciative and knowledgeable eye. Using a large format view camera, Wilson has elevated vernacular structures of pure utility and highlighted their consequence, meaning, and haunting beauty. Grain elevators, gold rush buildings, tank houses, greenhouses, covered bridges, barns, silos, stamp mills, Quonset huts, water flumes and other rural structures are presented in this daringly designed book.

David Stark Wilson, born in Berkeley, California, has been a building designer for over fifteen years. His projects have won awards from the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association, "Sunset", and "Metropolitan Home Magazine." An avid mountaineer and skier, he developed a love of photography at an early age. His interests in design and photography converged during his back-road encounters with the austere agricultural buildings of California’s Central Valley. He has photographed architecture for "Sunset," "Better Homes and Gardens", and "San Francisco Magazine." David lives in Berkeley with his wife, Stacia Cronin, and children, Chase and Kai.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Art. Photography. Using a large-format view camera, David Stark Wilson elevates the architecturally underappreciated utility buildings that dot California's great Central Valley. In both words and pictures, Wilson captures the disquietingly abandoned landscape that, neither cultural nor natural has, nonetheless, much of the beauty and consequence of both, though it is, like these buildings, an industrial ruin, still in use.
