Living Modern: A Biography of Greenwood Common. by Lowell, Waverly B. : William Stout Architectural Books : Books on architecture, art, urban planning, graphic and industrial design, furniture and interior design, and landscape architecture.

Architect William Wurster envisioned Greenwood Common as a development that combined an idealistic sense of community with a modernist aesthetic and an awareness of regional traditions. Utilizing the Berekeley Design Archives this book details the eight distinct homes designed between 1952 and 1957, by seven significant California architects, that harmonize effortlessly with each other and with their location. The Common's landscape, along with four gardens designed by Lawrence Halprin, captured what had become the mid-century ideal of indoor-outdoor living.
