David C. Martin was the third-generation design partner for AC Martin Architects. This is a portfolio of significant projects that were designed during the period of 1970s to the 2010s. The book includes a number of unpublished photos of award-winning architecture. The treatise includes many of David's conceptual sketches, his thoughts about design philosophy and describes working relations with his partner Chris Martin and other team members within the dynamics of a large architectural firm. He describes the culture of the firm and how the practice evolved thru the generations. The scale of the work ranges from individual houses to 75-story towers--from houses, churches, aerospace, universities to corporate towers. What differentiates this monograph from most is that it is a personal expression, illustrated by lush photographs from LA's best architectural photographers, it includes personal sketches and watercolors that chronical the design process. It deals with teamwork, family, craftsmanship, and the joy of architectural practice.
