The older buildings around are provocative not just for their architecture, good or bad, but also for what they say about the way lives are lived now, the values and tensions. That’s especially true in San Francisco, says architecture critic John King as he shows how the culture is reshaping-and being shaped by-buildings ranging from beloved landmarks to once-scorned office towers.
John King is the San Francisco Chronicle’s urban design critic and author of the new Heyday book Cityscapes 2: Reading the Architecture of San Francisco. In 2013 he organized Unbuilt San Francisco, a multi-venue exhibition and programming project, and was co-curator of Unbuilt San Francisco: Ambition and Imagination at the Environmental Design Archives, UC Berkeley, College of Environmental Design.
