Appropriate: The Houses Of Joseph Esherick (Environmental Design Archives at the University of Calif

The complete designs of Joseph Esherick, one of San Francisco's foremost architects from the 1960s through his death in the late 1990s.Esherick is best known for high-profile public buildings, such as The Cannery at Fisherman's Wharf, the 1968 re-imagining of the old DelMonte cannery that is one of the earliest examples of adaptive re-use of industrial buildings, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. He also produced a laudable stream of truly classic California homes, influenced less by fashion than by the demands of climate, social structure and suitable technology. A beautifully illustrated book from the distinguished UCBerkeley Landscape Design series.
