Description: Using drawings and photographs from the Joseph Linesch archive in the Architecture and Design Collection (UAM, UCSB), the exhibition brochure contextualizes the architecture and landscaping used to camouflage oil derricks on the four T.H.U.M.S. islands, created by the firm Linesch & Reynolds along with Herbert J. Goldman and Morgan Evans in the harbor of Long Beach, Calif., 1965-1968. The brochure also addresses highlights from Linesch's career as a designer of themed landscapes as well as his concern with visual and environmental pollution.
