Rockitecture is Finally Available in Stores!

For more than two years we at Creating the Freelance Career have been working with retired architect Barry Schweiger on his book Rockitecture: The Symphony of River Rocks and the Men Who Listened to Their Music.  As Paul Haddad said, "This is a book that is long overfue, and Barry Schweiger is the only person who could have written it. Rockiecture is an eloquent love letter to the stone structures of Schweiger's youth combined with the kind of insightful perspective one can only get from renowned architect—all infused with a sense of mystery." 
​
To read the book is to go on a journey of Southern California's indigenous architecture, river rock homes, churches, castles, waiting stations and water troughs. All of which were crafted in the late 1800s and early 1900s, until building codes changed.
