EXPIRED: 10/25/09 – Lawrence Halprin, 93, grew up in New York and spent three of his teenage years in Palestine on a kibbutz. Then in 1944, Halprin assigned to the NAVY destroyer the USS Morris in the Pacific. The ship was totally destroyed by a kamikaze attack.
Now, you would think that surviving the destruction of a Navy vessel hundreds of miles at sea would put you off of water a bit, but not Halprin. He was sent to San Francisco on leave. And following his discharge, he decided to stay in the city by the sea, and to inegrate water into his life’s work as an urban landscape architect.
