Product Description
Part pocket guide, part history, and part architectural primer, the companion piece to urban design critic John King's Cityscapes: San Francisco and Its Buildings contains all the wit and insight of the first installment. With epigrammatic prose and full-color photographs, King highlights fifty structures that tell the story of the city through architecture.
Included are landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Coit Tower- but King pays equal attention to 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 from the two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist for criticism, Cityscapes 2 shows us how to see the structures around us as signs of a multilayered and ever-changing city.
