City by Design: San Francisco: An Architectural Perspective of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area (City By Design series)

FoREWORD By Margie O'Driscoll, AlA So n Fra nc isco Executive Director with C la rk Manus, FAIA, a nd William Worthen, AlA, LEED AP

Stunning and sobering. the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 was a defining event in Bay Area history. Its wrath was widespread despite Its brevity; Its force literally and figuratively earthshaking. Though It was not the dreaded "big one." It was considered to be the most costly natural disaster the United States had ever experienced at the time and left behind a swath of damage, death and destruction. However, In spite of Its tragic effects. Loma Prieta caused us to reexamine long-term strategies for the city; It presented an opportunity to rebuild and reinvent San Francisco's built environment In thoughtful ways that have strengthened our urban fabric. Today, some two decades after this catastrophic event. San Francisco has rebounded and adapted, transforming Itself Into a prominent model of a vibrant. sustainable 21st-century city.

Excerpt

NTRODUCTON Each day we pass by hundreds of buildings-a melange of o ld and new works of architecture-that we likely take for granted. not for lack of Interest but because life's frenetic pace often prohibits asking why, how. when and through whose creativity did the built environment around us come to fruition. Yet It Is these very structures, unassuming or prominently placed, that create the brilliantly complex urban and suburban landscapes where our lives unfold.

Imagine being afforded the rare opportunity to gaze Inside the walls and around the perimeter of these buildings that are equal parts mysterious, familiar and alluring. Imagine meeting their creators and discovering the forward-thinking design savvy behind the selection of each material. the placement of each door and window, the sculptural use of bath c lassical and contemporary architectural forms. Now turn the

pa~ommence

an invigorating journey that Is sure to Ignite your appreciation or renew your passion for San

Francisco's architectural fabric.

You w ill Immediately discern City by Design San Francisco as unique among architectural collections. Indeed. It boasts vibrant photographs of stimulating designs, melded with insightful editorial. yet It does not endeavor to present merely the tallest. widest, newest. oldest or greenest buildings. More precisely, It Is a rich. diverse collection of the city's best-from landmark skyscrapers that define San Francisco 's majestic skyline to smaller, thoughtfully designed edifices of some of the suburbs' best-kept secrets. tt Is a regional compilation of masterfully conceived structures considered preeminent by the locally based architects and developers who have turned intangible ideas Into built realities that will be enjoyed for generations to come.

One o f the largest natural history museums in the world, the California Academy of Sciences has long been a renowned Institute

in which the public experience directly correlates with In-house scientific research. After more than 150 years dedicated to exploring, explaining and protecting the natural world, the academy celebrated the opening of on extraordinary new home In September 2008. The California Academy of Sciences, designed by the Internationally celebrated firm Renzo Piano Building Workshop, In collaboration with Stontec Architecture, Webcor Builders and a host of talented consultants, Is a true masterpiece In sustainable design that reflects the organization's purpose through Innovative architectural forms.

Baldauf Cotton von Eckortsberg Architects is the creative vision behind the celebrated Ferry Building Marketplace In Son Francisco.

In a city full of Iconic structures. the historic Ferry Building Is arguably the city' s most venerable and celebrated architectural achievement. It Is. as writer Herb Coen put It, · a famous city' s most famous landmark."

Much more than graceful aesthetics. the 1898-bullt structure is a marvel of engineering, representing one o f few buildings to survive both the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes. BCV has breathed new life Into this notional historic landmark without compromising Its rich character. and created a civic epicenter that celebrates the Boy Area 's vibrant food culture. ABOVE: The Ferry BuNdlng has become the epicenter of a revltaNzed waterfront since the demoltlon of the Embarcadero Freeway, which for years obscured the building and the waterfront and separated them from the downtown area. Photograph by Richard Barnes FACING PAGE: Expansive openings In the second floor were created during the renovation to spotNght the spectacular ground level promenade that runs the length of the building, drawing shoppers. ferry passengers and other visitors to the heart of the project. the Ferry BuNding Marketplace and /Is vendors. Photograph by Richard Barnes

From Its completion at the turn of the century until the 1930s. the Ferry Building was a transportation focal point; during its years of peak usage, some 50,000 people a day commuted by ferry. The automobile craze and the completion of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Son Francisco Oakland Boy Bridge hod undercut the vitality of the building by the 1950s, and the 1957-built Embarcadero Freeway, which remained for 35 years. further diminished the Ferry Building by overshadowing Its physical stature.

The Ferry Building has come full circle, reopening In 2004 as on upscale gourmet marketplace. office building and re-dedicated ferry terminal. The marketplace Is now a thriving community that melds the hollowed structure's grand a rchitectural fabric with new and engaging layers of richness.

The design team g leaned early Inspiration from Pike Place Market In Seattle. but even more so from studies of vibrant European markets with visits to Harrod's and Covent Gorden in London, the Iotter of which provided tremendous proportional direction with regard to creating a narrower, more dynamic nove. BCV derived additional design references from o ld Parisian markets and gourmet stores such as Fouchon and Hedlord. as well as from Milan's popular marketplace, Peck, and Venice's Ria lto Fish Market. Inspired by these establishments, BCV incorporated elements such as the use of folding metal gates for marketplace stalls, which provide protection without the Imposing barrier of a g loss storefront. The rhythm of the arched openings, metal gates. decorative mosaic panels and lively yet disciplined slgnoge has created a dynamic, culturall y relevant environment visited by tens of thousands of patrons-locals and visitors alike-on a weekly basis.

BCV worked w ith SMWM and Page & Turnb ull on the renovation o f this g rand build ing. Major project components Included moving the main public space from the second level to the ground floor as well as restoration of the 660-footlong nave, which serves as the building's o rganizing space, and the structure's p rominent 245-foot-tall c lock tower. BCV Is proud to have c reated the Ferry Build ing Marketplace, the central element-along w ith the demolition o f the Embarcadero Freeway a fter the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake-In successfull y knitting this historic build ing back Into the life of the c ity.

In addition to serving as the marketplace a rchitects, BCV designed roughly one third of the restaurant and food vendors' spaces In the build ing, Including Taylor's Re fresher, Hog Island Oyster Co. and Ferry Plaza Seafood. It was important to BCV that the project Include the work of many a rchitects In order to provide a rich chorus of voices expressing the strength of the Bay Area culinary arts-arguably one o f the g reat forces shaping American culture in our time. The Ferry Build ing Marketplace provides the communities' epicenter for this movement. • • • • • • •

Prominently set between South Beach and the financial district on Rincon Hill, the luxury residential complex BridgeView is much

more than just spacious condominiums with sweeping vistas of the boy and city skyline. Careful attention paid to the development's scale and proportions laid the groundwork for on engaging, pedestrian-friendly streetscope between the Boy Bridge and the financial district, but the structure has also p layed on Important role In the area's ongoing transformation from a heavily Industrial area Into a high-density residential neighborhood. Design architect Chrlstionl Johnson Architects, In collaboration with executive architect HKS, ensured that the construction of a considerably Iorge structure in a tight site respected the larger neighborhood and responded to separate zoning guidelines, resulting In a harmonious fit with Its environs.

FACING PAGE: Just moments a way from the Bay Bridge, BridgeVIew offers compeNing vistas of Its Iconic neighbor. Project Design Team: Richard Christian/ and Dovld Johnson. Photograph by Brendan Dunnigan, HKS

BridgeVIew rose from what had been surface parking on a long and narrow site-approximately 300 feet long by 90 feet wide-bounded by Bay Bridge anchorage on one end and Harrison Street bridge anchorage on the other, resulting in a stringent and heavily trafficked architectural canvas. Moreover, the street was demarcated into two zonings, each with separate density and land-use requirements. As Is typical with In-city multifamily developments, the developer, Emerald Fund, sought to maximize the number of units, which ended up totaling 245, in addition to including ground-level retail and on-site parking-yet the structure had to respond to distinct height and zoning restrictions. The solution: breaking down the scale of the massing Into several discreet building elements, differentiated through both color and proportion.

The shape of the building Is a response to the two zones, resulting In a 26-story tower adjacent to a 15-story tower, whi le the overall structure was broken up into three vertical elements, which correlate with the massing. The base consists of two levels o f below-grade parking, on-grade parking behind the retail and one floor of parking above; the ground-floor retail totals 2,300 square feet. The centerpiece of this tripartite form Is an octagonal tower that features the main entrance; this geometric form corresponds to a diagonal requirement In the planning code o f 110 feet and pushes the building toward a more modern expression, despite having a traditional composition of base, midpoint and cap. The exterior, comprised o f pre-cast panels forged from glass fiber reinforced concrete and aluminum windows, Is differentiated by color to further emphasize the distinct building elements; fenestration of a more rectilinear, punched nature Is also a defining element.

The thoughtful design of BridgeVIew delivered upscale residences to a highdensity urban setting in a conscientious manner, ushering in a neighborhood transformation while paying respect to the larger community. • •

Sometimes the ideal architectural canvas Is not blank but rather rich In character, modest in ornament; a piquant template to

reinvent. An existing 5,000-square-foot shell space with dynamic features a fforded the Ideal starting point for the new headquarters of Novo Construction, a distinguished Bay Area builder. William Duff Architects transformed this raw industrial-type space Into a c lean, functional and uplifting office that identifies and differentiates Novo Construction as a premier contractor.

-

The existent qualities of 608 Folsom Street were compelling and port of a we lllit, open interior. Thus, the design Intention was to accentuate the winsome qualities of the shell in a way that e legantly utilized the materials and judiciously shaped the space-while letting the structure speak for Itself. Moreover, keeping the space as c lean and open as possible was a priority, while making the Interior circulation feel like a greater extension of the space Itself.

Stepping Into the main entry with Its row concrete walls and columns, patrons enter under a Iorge skylight exuding daylight and warmth; the design emanates from this essential space. The view through the Interior is remarkable and exhibits a seamless flow of spaces. The main conference room Is adjacent to and readily apparent from the entry volume and Is defined by a Io rge wall of g loss; the vista extends from the conference room through old industrial windows on the front of the building out to the exterior.

One of the Interior walls featured an existing soffit that had been pulled down from the ceiling; this design element was replicated on the other side o f the space. which a llowed the roof structure to be prominently expressed above the offices. Beyond making the Interior feel larger. letting the whole ceiling read through enabled offices to be fully built out a long the perimeter yet still feel open without compromisl ng the efficient layout. Clarity and refinement were achieved by letting the structure gracefully express Itself a long with the thoughtful yet minimal use of g lass. drywall, low-VOC paints and recycled carpet; a kitchen/ bar area features a modest array of glass shelving and g lazed ceramic tiles that emulate Cor-Ten steel.

By taking advantage o f a wonderful existing shell and enhancing its many desirable

qualities. William

In 2000, the world's largest software development company established a presence among Bay Area technology developers

through the completion of a halt-million-square-foot Silicon Valley campus. But unlike much of Silicon Valley architecture. the home for this global giant endeavored to convey a timeless d ignity within the area's prevailing high-tech vernacular, yet without as much exuberance and amplification as so many of Its boldly modem neighbors. Indeed, the design called for a subtle yet refined tone of outreach and presence, which would stand In contrast to Iconic structures designed part and parcel with branding efforts. The Silicon Valley Campus of the worl d's largest software company, designed by Quezada Architecture, employed a hast of green technologies prior to the establishment of the United States Green Building Council's LEED Certification system. The fast-track project was designed, built and occupied In less than 20 months.

Set on 32 acres. the headquarters Is a five-building campus comprised of a central commons building, which houses a cafeteria, conference center, company store, data center, concierge and other commons components, with four peripheral structures organized around it. The aggressive design and build schedule necessitated the use of concrete tilt-up wall construction to form the major exterior core and shell buildings elements. Variations in the massing and accent g lass curtalnwalls a fford additional visual Interest and character. Designed before the widespread use of sustainable design principles, It was the corporation 's first foray Into green development and the facilities employ many green technologies such as dayllghting controls. Natural light Is of exceptional Importance for software developers, particularly when exclusively featured private o ffices can easily foment a cave-like mentality. Dayiightlng was Introduced to Interior spaces by featuring raised roofs to a llow greater light penetration.

Just as the incomparable John Coltrane so e loquently said, "The main thing a musician would like to do is to give a picture to

the listener of the many wonderful things he knows of and senses In the universe," It was the Impeccable architectural solution from Mark Covognero Assoc iates that provided the Community School o f Music and Arts with Its first permanent home-an aestheticall y pure facility tailored to meet the functional and creative needs o f Its art students and teachers.

Well versed In crafting functional yet elegant edifices for the arts-having designed c inematic theaters, performing arts theaters and recital halls, among others-Mark Covognero, FAIA, a jazz guitarist himself, brought a keen aptitude for designing harmonious spaces to the project. In close collaboration

Organized around a central courtyard. the school provides performance and event space while Introducing a profusion of natural light into c lass and practice rooms. Moreover. the larger administration wing with more mass was oriented so the two-story perimeter shields the courtyard from traffic noises emanating from nearby thoroughfares. as well as buffering noise from the school's neighbors.

Dahlin Group's corporate office remodel consolidatesa collection of satellite offices Into a single, collaborative work environment-

a natura l step In the firm's evolution as a multidiscip linary organization with a U.S. and International c lientele. It Is the first LEED-certlfied structure In the Hac ienda Business Park In Pleasanton, California. and exemplifies the firm 's earnest commitment to transit-oriented and sustainable design as an Integral part of high-quality design solutions.

Dahlin Group chose this site. with a 1989 State Farm Insurance building. because It was Immediately adjacent to the Pleasanton-Dublin BART station. and had an on-site bus stop that serves several routes. The challenge: to provide an aesthetically dynamic design whi le being an early adapter of the LEED

Commercial interiors requirements. which were still in pilot stages. Dahlin Group staff fomlllorlzed Itself with and completed the certification process as a team. receiving LEED-Silver certification after the program was adopted.

Remodel of the existing building provided 23,500squore feet that accommodates 130 employees and reseNes 2.500 square feet of unfinished space for lease by a future transit-oriented tenant. The building's original orientation was solely to the parking lot. disconnecting It from the fabric of the street and pedestrian Interaction. The remodeled s true lure embraces an entry plaza and two-story gloss corner lobby, presenting greater prominence along Its narrow street frontage and c reating a d irec t connec tion to the street and pedestrians. F09odes were refined through the addition of horizontal and vertical aluminum sunshades. a compelling color treatment. freestanding wails that extend the architecture Into the site. and decorative metal screens to veil mechanical equipment.

Organized around open offices. the interior layout affords all employees a comfortable working environment that maximizes noturoliighting vio additional windows. a striking two-story gloss entry, a new central skylight, enlarged northfacing windows. and gloss walls In private offices and conference rooms. New gloss garage doors replace existing garage doors for the remodeled employee lunch area. providing access to natural ventilation and exterior seating. Exterior sunshades reduce po ten tia l g lare and aid light control. Overhangs. recesses. Interior blinds and shades. tinted windows. white translucent skylight glozing and a new cen tral stairwell combine to d iffuse light Into the building core.

Lighter paint colors for walls and ceilings and the integration of automatic dayllghting controls and a lighting system ensure even Illumination. Color splashes. playful graphics. video screens and focal points sustain visual interest. and provide contrast and balance to the deliberately subdued palette. An example: three dramatic red prints at the top of the lobby stair, which are actual enlargements of daylight studies developed for the LEED analysis.

Green building design a lso includes: bike racks and changing roams with showers and lockers; reducing overall hardscape to minimize the heat Island e ffect; Increasing ventilation by 30 percent; water efficiencies that reduce use by 33 percent; 83 percent Energy Star®rated appliances and equipment; using rapidly renewable and recycled-content materials; reusing existing furniture; and using low VOC-emlttlng materials throughout. •

In a region long recognized and extolled for Its stunning bridges, the new east span of the Bay Bridge will not only provide an

enhanced essential circulation artery and harmonious addition to the Bay Area 's family of bridges but also a technical marvel. Representing the world 's largest self-anchored suspension bridge upon completion In 20 13-os well as the first bridge of Its type constructed with a single tower-the Bay Bridge East Span design combines superior seismic safety elements with a streamlined appearance and graceful aesthetics that define a signature civic structure. MacDonald Architects, in collaboration with New York-based bridge engineering firm Weidllnger Associates. utilized decades o f Invaluable bridge project experience to procure the winning conceptual design for this momentous endeavor.

TheMacDonald/Weidllngerdeslgnteamdeveloped lOself-anchorlngsuspension conceptual bridge designs. different tower structures. cabling systems and deck profiles; these concepts were tested for structural Integrity and aesthetics. MacDonald/Weid llnger's design was selected largely for Its thoughtful detailing and Its compatibility with existent Bay Area bridges. which a lso employ the catenary form. Moreover.Its configuration as a suspension bridge affords greater Hexlblllty during an earthquake than a cable-stayed bridge. which was the form employed in the competing design group's entry. Through Its continuity of forms and aesthetics. the new east span of the Bay Bridge will complete a necklace of forms outlining San Francisco Bay.

A single 570-foot-tall tower. which matches the height of corresponding towers on the bridge's west span to form a matching silhouette across the bay. w ill support the main cables a long either side of the outside decks. This grand. lighted element w ill create a tent-like aura that w ill g low at night and serve as a cathedral of light and a gateway to Oakland. Collectively. lights from tunnel to touchdown wi ll form one consistent. resplendent line across the bay. serving as decoration and safety elements. Concrete throughout the bridge w ill be painted white to further unity the structure. emphasize shadows and cast an Illuminated white Image across the bay.

Unlike the c urrent east span. which features five lonesof trotfic atop five opposing lonescontoinedwlthln a steel framework, the new design places five eastbound Iones of trotfic and four service Iones parallel to five westbound Iones with a separation In the middle. Breaking down the scale of this Iorge moss Introduces light between the decks down to the surface of the water and enables commuters to enjoy compelling views to the surrounding east boy hillsides from a ll vantages. Another unique feature is the scaling o f venous bridge elements and slgnoge based on the public's perception from multiple views; how fast a viewer Is moving will dictate the level of detail. For example, the view by boot is tailored to the water's point of view; by cor, for drivers traveling quickly by; by airplane, for panoramic Images a cross the Boy; by foot. for greater detail a s pedestrians travel slowly. These tailor-mode signs will be positioned to navigate drivers. riders and pedestrians across the bridge in a practical manner they con comprehend. Meticulously planned and designed, the new east span of the Bo y Bridge e mphoslzes the pertinent role arc hitects must toke in designing all a spects of our built environment. Including Infrastructure.

Bike Arc: A Modular Bike Pork System • • • • • • • • Joseph • • • •Bellomo • • • •Architects, • • • Inc. • • • ••

Innovative, sustaiooble and sculptural, the Bike Arc system just might be the smartest idea to hit transportation since the bicycle,

Itself. Bom out o f a shared reverence for the bicycle and the environment, the design evolved from the collaborative efforts o f celebrated U.S. bicycle advocate Jeff Seizer and Joseph Bellomo. an architect renowned for his leadership in holistic, g reen design.

Jeff' s desire to honor the bicycle coupled with Joseph's commitment to sustaiooble design and their mutual commitment to leaving a light footpnnt catalyzed the Bike Arc's design. Addressing the Haws In traditional bike racks and the more sophisticated storage systems in bike stations. the duo proposed a structure that would protect both the bicycle and the user, with ample support for a variety o f bicycle styles, and no moving ports. ABOVE: The Hoff Arc offers ample storage and protection from the elements whNe maximizing sight lines and space. Project Design Team: Jeff Seizer, Joseph BeNomo and Toroneh Noddoff. Rendering by Joseph BeNomo Arch/tects, Inc . FACING PAGE: The or/gino/ Bike Arc offers complete protection from weather and theft, of/owing multiple riders to store tf1e /r b/cydes easily and safely-aN w/tf1/n one parking space. Rendering by Joseph BeNomo Architects. Inc .

The orig inal design. the Bike Arc. was a semi-opaque. perforated polycarbonate covered steel rib tube structure. small enough to fit In one parking space yet large enough to hold 20 bicycles. Riders could join a group. enter the tube with a fob. and store their bicycles easily. secure In the knowledge that they would be protected both from the elements and from potential thieves. However. because they were launching the prototype in Palo Alto. where parking Is at a premium. the designers refined the design. creating multiple Iterations of the same fundamental concept: a modular structure of steel ribs.

·. >= ' . - f

Inspired by Its essential fluidity. Joseph developed the structure to relate to the bicycle's form whi le minimizing Its footprint while parked. The result is a steel arc onto which riders roll, hook and lock their bikes. The various Bike Arc styles o re designed to serve a variety of community needs. Where seamlessly blending with the natural environment Is key. the low profile ·rack a rc" and space-saving ·umbrella arc" work best. Where protecting bicycles from p revalent inclement weather is vital, the o ri ginal 'bike arc" and 'half arc" ore the best choices. Regardless of the community's needs. the Bike Arc modular system lends aesthetic and practical value.

In addit ion to benefitting existing cyclists. the Bike Arc 's simplic ity and security encourages would-be cyclists to dust off their helmets and b ike to c lass, work and throughout their communit ies. The system curta ils what were once hindrances to b icycle commuting-bad weather, suspect satety and lack of adequate storage-making a w idespread g reen transportation movement more realistic . That they are so interesting looking makes them an attractive solution to r campuses, urban master p lans and c ity park p rojects. as does their surprisingly low cost. Indeed, this latter benefit has Inspired Joseph to conceive of a tubular a ffordable housing p roject. These modula r designs are part o f Bellomo Architects' p roposal for the KA2020 project on the big Island of Hawaii and o re gathering Interest among organizations dedicated to finding housing solutions where the most affordable. off-the-grid modula r housing is needed.

The creators continue to build on the Bike Arc concept. working w ith photovoltalc technology and a ffordable materials. Their passion for the Bike Arc Is contagious. and the design's potential for for-reaching value Is infinite.
