Born in San Diego, California Yamada studied landscape
architecture at University of California, Berkeley where his
design philosophy was shaped by modernist instructors Thomas
Church, Garrett Eckbo and Lawrence Halprin among others.
Graduating in 1954, he joined the office of Harriet B. Wimmer,
the first woman landscape architect in commercial practice in San
Diego. In 1960, the two became partners and renamed the firm
Wimmer Yamada, a name they kept even after Harriet Wimmer
retired.
George was only four years old when US soldiers forced he and his
family out of their home and into camps with barbed wire and
sentry towers. Here he recollects the days after the attack
on Pearl Harbor when Japanese Americans became “Enemy
non-aliens”.
Even with less than stellar audio capture, this amazing
performance of Lea Salonga of the Stephen Sondheim beloved tune
from A Little Night Music was too good to pass up!

answers questions from his Facebook and Twitter fans about his
career, his role as a warbler on the TV hit show Glee, and
working with George
Takei and Lea
Salonga on the upcoming Broadway show Allegiance.
Lea Salonga and Jose Llana sing “The Mountain’s Heart,” a new
duet from Allegiance that was added for the July 2011 NYC
Workshop. In this moment of the show, James has just told
Gloria that he is signing up for the all-Japanese American unit,
the 442nd Regimental Brigade–the most decorated unit in the
War. The news is shocking to Gloria, but she accepts it
with grace and courage. A fan favorite, this was a special
performance by Lea and Jose at the Cast Party prior to the NYC
Workshop, held at the Lucille Lortel Cabaret.
