Photo: John King\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Last Friday, San Francisco Chronicle urban design writer \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/maps/cityscape/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John King\u003c/a> visited \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/radio/programs/forum/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forum\u003c/a> to discuss all things Bay Area design and architecture, as well as his new book, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/04/30/RVRP1J74T6.DTL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cityscapes: San Francisco and Its Buildings\u003c/a>. Anyone who heard the show (and if you didn’t you can listen to an archive of it \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201105061000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>) can tell you it was chock full of questions for King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So full in fact, that there were many questions that weren’t able to be addressed. But we asked King if he would be willing to answer some of the questions that didn’t make it to air and he obliged. Below are King’s answers to more of your design questions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1.\u003cem> Do architects and cityscape thinkers ever document or think about how the light gets passed from one structure to another?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rarely, but they should. As counterintuitive as it sounds, a tower with the right angles and cladding can reflect light down toward the sidewalks below. Apparently this is happening – in a good way — with a new steel-draped Frank Gehry apartment tower in Lower Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2.\u003cem> Does John King know anything about the building near Oyster Point on the west side of 101 that has blue glass? I think it’s lovely — seems to echo the shape of a ship — but there is no sign and it appears to be empty.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nThat is part one of Centennial Towers, and the architect is Craig Hartman of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Hartman also designed Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland and a high-rise that’s in \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Cityscapes-San-Francisco-its-Buildings/dp/1597141542\">Cityscapes\u003c/a>, 101 2nd St. Given the fact that it indeed sits empty, I’m guessing the second (taller) phase won’t join your lone ship anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3.\u003cem> My grandfather, a long-time construction worker, recently died. When my family and I were going through his things, we found articles on buildings that he had helped build. We found lots on the Wells Fargo building on lower Market Street that went up in the mid-60s. What do you think of the building? \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s \u003ca href=\"http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=44+montgomery+%2B+san+francisco&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=44+Montgomery+St,+San+Francisco,+CA+94104&gl=us&ei=2dnKTe_JCILUtQOwpPXMCA&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBcQ8gEwAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">44 Montgomery St.\u003c/a> and it opened in 1967 as Wells Fargo’s world headquarters: 564 feet straight up, the height accented by tightly spaced straight metal fins. Honestly, I’ve always found the John Graham-designed tower out of place at the foot of Montgomery’s masonry canyon. But a modernist I respect is a fan of its clean confident presence, so I’m taking a fresh look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4.\u003cem> Can you talk about the new move towards interim spaces popping up between buildings in the City? Is San Francisco leading this iterative method, or are we part of a larger trend across the country and world?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco indeed is a trend-setter when it comes to the transformation of odd-shaped intersections into plazas, as at 17th and Market streets in the Castro, and the concept of “\u003ca href=\"http://sfpavementtoparks.sfplanning.org/22nd_street_parklet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parklets\u003c/a>” where two or three parking spaces are turned into seating areas and sidewalk extensions. Credit goes to an abundance of smart young designers eager to experiment at urban scale, such as Rebar Group and Jane Martin, and a city planning department open to new definitions of public space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5.\u003cem> The old Sears building on Geary and Masonic seems like such an under utilized space — great mid-century design with built in parking, easy access by public transportation, and some of the best views in the city.

But we asked King if he would be willing to answer some of the questions that didn’t make it to air and he obliged. Below are King’s answers to more of your design questions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1.\u003cem> Do architects and cityscape thinkers ever document or think about how the light gets passed from one structure to another?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rarely, but they should. As counterintuitive as it sounds, a tower with the right angles and cladding can reflect light down toward the sidewalks below. Apparently this is happening – in a good way — with a new steel-draped Frank Gehry apartment tower in Lower Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2.\u003cem> Does John King know anything about the building near Oyster Point on the west side of 101 that has blue glass? I think it’s lovely — seems to echo the shape of a ship — but there is no sign and it appears to be empty.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nThat is part one of Centennial Towers, and the architect is Craig Hartman of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Hartman also designed Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland and a high-rise that’s in \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Cityscapes-San-Francisco-its-Buildings/dp/1597141542\">Cityscapes\u003c/a>, 101 2nd St. Given the fact that it indeed sits empty, I’m guessing the second (taller) phase won’t join your lone ship anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
