About the book:
Part pocket guide, part history, and part architectural primer, this is the companion piece to urban design critic John King’s Cityscapes: San Francisco and Its Buildings. In epigrammatic prose and with his detailed full-color photographs, King highlights fifty structures that tell the story of San Francisco through architecture. Included are landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, and the Hallidie Building -- but King also takes notice of less celebrated structures that embody the politics, architectural fads, and cultural values of the eras in which they were conceived. A fresh take on the familiar, Cityscapes 2 shows us how to read the structures around us to better understand this multilayered and ever-changing city. More>
