"Thomas Dolliver Church (April 27, 1902 – August 30, 1978), also known by Tommy, was a renowned and innovative 20th century landscape architect based in California.He is a nationally recognized as one of the pioneer landscape designers of Modernism in garden landscape design known as the 'California Style'. His design studio was in San Francisco from 1933 to 1977.. When Church started practicing, the Neoclassical style was still the predominant landscape design style. Thomas’s design education at UC Berkeley and Harvard, along with his travels to gardens in Europe, gave him ample training in Classical and Renaissance garden traditions. However, Church is renowned as a pioneer in American landscape architect for introducing the Modernist architecture and art movements into landscape design."After WW II, other designers added to what later became to be known as the “California Style” of gardens. Some of them apprenticed in his design studio, including Robert Royston and Lawrence Halprin.
