Cityscapes: San Francisco and its Buildings
''More of a pocketbook than a primer,Cityscapesis a jaunty romp through a few of the icons of San Francisco architecture and a number of the idiosyncratic structures that dot the City by the Bay. King makes it a comfortable trip with brief commentary on each building; it's like he's walking alongside and just chatting about what strikes him. And, there's not a single bit of jargon, no technical terms, nary a wisp of archi-babble.''--San Francisco Examiner''Cityscapestakes in the great breadth of San Francisco's built landscape and in it finds joy, beauty, and the great dynamic thrum that marks one of the world's most vital cities.''--Dwell''John King is making it possible for even strangers, let alone residents, to experience San Francisco like never before. Just the visuals are enough to satisfy your appetite but to then read the description makes you know that you've got to go pay a visit. A must book for everybody.'' --Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco'Cityscapestakes in the great breadth of San Francisco's built landscape and in it finds joy, beauty, and the great dynamic thrum that marks one of the world's most vital cities.' --Dwell'John King is making it possible for even strangers, let alone residents, to experience San Francisco like never before.
