I was totally engrossed in the current issue of Architectural Record, as it focused on my hometown of SF and the Bay area. The splotlight was on 4 projects, 2 of which I have photographed quite extensively: California Academy Of Sciences (Piano), Contemporary Jewish Museum (Libeskind), Oakland Cathedral of Christ the Light (SOM), and the Starr East Asian Library at UC Berkeley (Williams, Tsien). John King, SF Gate's own urban design critic also contributed on the local low income housing projects that have garnered much design praise (which goes to show you don't have to spend millions to have good design). Also, you can't write about SF Architecture without mentioning Stanley Saitowitz and Jim Jennings. I can only fantasize about my oceanfront property and custom designed home by Jennings. (sigh)
