Legacy traces the history of AC Martin's third generation through the eyes of architect David C. Martin, design principal of the iconic Los Angeles-based firm from 1984-2016. David addresses the transition of the practice's culture, philosophy, and sense of craftsmanship across the generations, and provides anecdotal accounts of the adventurous experiences that graced his 50-year career. It is a very personal expression of his life and work. Throughout Legacy, David provides details about what inspires him and what informs his creative process. Many of the projects described in the book feature David's watercolor sketches. He often used this medium to illustrate the conceptual phases of the firm's projects, and he still sets aside time to paint every day. David informally addresses design briefs, client relationships, serendipitous situations, and the great satisfaction of being a member of a multigenerational team. The book's epilogue contains a chronology of important AC Martin projects, as well as David's acknowledgement of those who supported him along the way--notably, his cousin and business partner, Christopher C. Martin, and the significance of his leadership as managing partner of the firm. Together, they were awarded the American Institute of Architects Los Angeles Chapter's Presidential Gold Medal for their major contributions to the built environment in the City of Los Angeles. All proceeds from Legacy benefit MADWORKSHOP, a nonprofit organization co-founded by David and his wife, Mary, to support students, makers, artists, and architects in the realization of socially valuable design projects.
