Download or read book Bound to Fall written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Change is the lifeblood of a city, and San Francisco has a pulse like few others. At any given time, there are literally hundreds of pending building and planning permit applications for demolition of the old, construction of the new or redevelopment to make the old new again. Over the past several years, I've been documenting the neighborhoods where change has clustered, in a series of photo essays that I variously call "Bound to Fall," "Corridors of Change," or sometimes "San Francisco Survivors." I've been less interested in what will be going up (and up and up both in height and cost) than in the buildings that will disappear, and what will be left behind by change. This compilation represents a sampler of sort taken from monographs devoted to several key neighborhoods in transition: the Embarcadero, South of Market, Dogpatch, Showplace Square, Potrero, and especiatoally different sections of the Mission."--Page [1].
Download or read book Designing San Francisco written by Alison Isenberg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major urban history of the design and development of postwar San Francisco Designing San Francisco is the untold story of the formative postwar decades when U.S. cities took their modern shape amid clashing visions of the future. In this pathbreaking and richly illustrated book, Alison Isenberg shifts the focus from architects and city planners—those most often hailed in histories of urban development and design—to the unsung artists, activists, and others who played pivotal roles in rebuilding San Francisco between the 1940s and the 1970s. Previous accounts of midcentury urban renewal have focused on the opposing terms set down by Robert Moses and Jane Jacobs—put simply, development versus preservation—and have followed New York City models. Now Isenberg turns our attention west to colorful, pioneering, and contentious San Francisco, where unexpectedly fierce battles were waged over iconic private and public projects like Ghirardelli Square, Golden Gateway, and the Transamerica Pyramid. When large-scale redevelopment came to low-rise San Francisco in the 1950s, the resulting rivalries and conflicts sparked the proliferation of numerous allied arts fields and their professionals, including architectural model makers, real estate publicists, graphic designers, photographers, property managers, builders, sculptors, public-interest lawyers, alternative press writers, and preservationists. Isenberg explores how these centrally engaged arts professionals brought new ideas to city, regional, and national planning and shaped novel projects across urban, suburban, and rural borders. San Francisco’s rebuilding galvanized far-reaching critiques of the inequitable competition for scarce urban land, and propelled debates over responsible public land stewardship. Isenberg challenges many truisms of this renewal era—especially the presumed male domination of postwar urban design, showing how women collaborated in city building long before feminism’s impact in the 1970s. An evocative portrait of one of the world’s great cities, Designing San Francisco provides a new paradigm for understanding past and present struggles to define the urban future.

Download or read book Garden Neighborhoods of San Francisco written by Richard Brandi and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Francisco is not known for detached houses with landscaped setbacks, lining picturesque, park-side streets. But between 1905 and 1924, thirty-six such neighborhoods, called residence parks, were proposed or built in the city. Hundreds like them were constructed across the country yet they are not well known or understood today. This book examines the city planning aspects of residence parks in a new way, with tracing how developers went about the business of building them, on different sites and for different markets, and how they kept out black and Asian residents.
