Schindler. Preciado had been asked to re-create a dining set made by Sandoval for the Ralph G. Walker House, a Los Angeles home designed by Schindler. Working from chairs made in the 1940s, Preciado undertook a kind of forensics to understand how to achieve Sandoval's deeply technical design. Along the way, Preciado engaged in an imagined discourse with Sandoval--about the latter's craft, life and how he navigated a crucial chapter in American architectural history. The culmination of nearly five years of research into this under-historicized figure, \u003ci\u003eSo Near, So Far\u003c\/i\u003e presents work by Preciado in dialogue with Sandoval's story, breaking open established narratives about authorship and the built environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book was published in conjunction with Palm Springs Art Museum.\u003c\/b\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 10.5 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47403757175005,"sku":"9781961883222","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/YI_LNhWc5G9781961883222.webp?v=1771103803","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/ryan-preciado-manuel-sandoval-so-near-so-far-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
