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 Del
Monte 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 UC
Berkeley Landscape Design series.
