本書取材自訪談、書信與摩根的私人日記,並收錄過去從未公開的文字,呈現她對信仰、藝術與人生經歷的深刻思考。從她與赫斯特的深厚情誼、對加州自然景觀的熱愛,到面對家族失智病史的掙扎,以及對建築始終不渝的投入,揭示出一位才華非凡、意志堅定的藝術家。

遲來的建築大師榮耀
從飯店、教堂到私人住宅,摩根在職業生涯中完成約 700 座建築。她出生於舊金山、受訓於巴黎,發展出鮮明獨特的美學風格,深刻塑造了加州部分地區的建築景觀。然而,直到近二十年,她的成就才真正獲得廣泛肯定。2014 年,美國建築師學會追授她最高榮譽「AIA 金獎」,使她成為史上首位獲得此獎的女性。
Julia Morgan was a lifelong trailblazer. She was the first woman admitted to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed to practice architecture in California. Over the first half of the 20th century, she left an indelible mark on the American West. Of her remarkable 700 creations, the most iconic is Hearst Castle. Morgan spent thirty years constructing this opulent estate on the California coast for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst—forging a lifelong friendship and creative partnership with him. Together, they built a spectacular and unequalled residence that once hosted the biggest stars of Hollywood's golden age, and that now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
This compelling biography draws on interviews, letters, and Morgan's diaries, including never-before-seen reflections on faith, art, and her life experiences. Morgan's friendship with Hearst, her passion for California's landscape, her struggles with familial dementia, and her devotion to architecture reveal her to have been a singularly brilliant and determined artist.

ARCHITECTURAL ICON: Julia Morgan created 700 buildings during her career, from hotels to churches to private homes. Born in San Francisco and trained in Paris, she developed a distinctive aesthetic that now defines certain regions of California. But only in the last twenty years has her contribution to architecture been fully recognized and celebrated. In 2014, the American Institute of Architects' posthumously awarded her its Gold Medal; she was the first female recipient.

作者介紹
When Victoria Kastner paid her first visit to Hearst Castle many years ago, she was told, An architect named Julia Morgan built this entire estate, but we don't know anything about her. From then on, she was hooked. She spent more than three decades as the castle's official historian, and her previous books include the definitive trilogy of its history. Now an independent researcher and lecturer, she resides in Los Osos, California.
