Waves crash upon the rocks or wash up on beautiful stretches of sandy beaches. This is the location of The Sea Ranch, an area covering several thousand acres of large, open meadows and forested natural settings interspersed with award-winning architecture. When the area, a sheep ranch well into the last century, was rediscovered for its beauty in the 1960s, it came to be envisioned as a home community that harmonized with the environment. Renowned landscape designer Lawrence Halprin's master plan for The Sea Ranch community accordingly incorporated a set of building guidelines that minimized the visual as well as physical impact upon the landscape. Subsequent buildings by architects such as Joseph Esherick, Charles Moore, William Turnbull, Obie Bowman, Donlyn Lyndon, and others have been recognized worldwide for environmentally sensitive planning and architecture. They sparked a generation of imitators that became part of what is known as "The Sea Ranch style," epitomizing what many people imagine when they think of Northern Californian architecture. This beautiful monograph, lavishly illustrated with over 300 newly commissioned photographs and including maps, plans, detailed descriptions of the houses, and essays by Donald Canty and Lawrence Halprin, presents the definitive record of The Sea Ranch community.

The author looks at the public space of the Palace and the city that grew around it through history and by analyzing the Palace as an architectural-urban model, as well as its meaning and position in the contemporary context. The book defines some key problems of the functioning of the city's public space and offers a theoretical approach for the integration of the inherited urban matrix into modern life, referring to the discipline of urban design. Thus, a historical story, observed in the context of the city's overall functioning, becomes part of the reflection of contemporary urban life. Behind the book, along with the author, stands a team of exceptional experts: Karin Šerman and Joško Belamarić as editors, and reviewers Hildegard Auf-Franić, Gorana Banić, Anči Leburić, Marijan Hržić, Tomislav Premerl and Ivan Rogić, with a foreword by Donlyn Lyndon from the UC Berkeley. The book is divided into 11 chapters: Diocletian's Palace and Split: Defining the Problem, The Role of Research Methods in the Preservation of the City, Looking Back: the Morphogenesis of Split, Developing and Conserving, Contemporary Public Space and Life in the Historical Core, Space, Place, Non-Place, Identity and Place, City and Kairos, City is not a House, City is a House, Scale 1:1 or Planning the Day.
Knjiga na originalan način prikazuje odnos Dioklecijanove palače i suvremenog grada. Javni prostor Palače i grada koji je oko nje izrastao autorica sagledava kroz povijest te analizom Palače kao arhitektonsko-urbanističkog modela, kao i njezina značenja i položaja u suvremenom kontekstu. U knjizi se definiraju neki ključni problemi funkcioniranja javnog prostora grada i nudi teorijski pristup za integraciju naslijeđene urbane matrice u suvremeni život, upućujući na disciplinu urbanističkog projektiranja, kojoj je zadatak regulirati odnose između planerskog, urbanističkog i arhitektonskog djelovanja. Tako jedna povijesna priča, promatrana u kontekstu cjelovitog funkcioniranja grada, postaje dio promišljanja suvremenog urbanog života. Iza knjige, uz autoricu, stoji tim iznimnih stručnjaka: Karin Šerman i Joško Belamarić kao urednici, te recenzenti Hildegard Auf- Franić, Gorana Banić, Anči Leburić, Marijan Hržić, Tomislav Premerl i Ivan Rogić, uz predgovor Donlyna Lyndona s američkog Sveučilišta Berkeley. Knjiga je koncipirana u 11 poglavlja: Dioklecijanova palača i Split: definiranje problema, Uloga istraživačkih metoda u očuvanju grada, Pogled unazad: morfogeneza Splita, Razvijati i konzervirati, Suvremeni javni prostor i život u povijesnoj jezgri, Prostor, mjesto, ne- mjesto, Identitet i mjesto, Grad i kairos, Grad nije kuća, Grad je kuća, Mjerilo 1:1 ili planiranje dana.
