Eye-opening Examples of San Francisco's Unseen Architecture*

This "coffee table book" for your computer is a slideshow on cd** of over 300 lush images that fill your screen with wacky San Francisceana. Photos taken between 1970s and 2000s. Many of these buildings have changed or no longer exist.

"What's the best way to see a wide variety of architecture in San Francisco-by bus, car or foot? Whether your interest is fantasy, ethnic influence, contrived period details or buildings which have been altered in some iconoclastic manner, sometimes with amusing or aesthetic results, to suit the housing or fashion needs of serial occupants, the best way may be in a comfortable chair facing a computer screen watching "Unusual San Francisco Architecture," a collection of photographs taken by Bob Burnside in his search for unusual buildings. Some well known structures are included, but the majority of them could never be found in a guidebook. The selections are personal, but the appeal is wide. Architects, artists, designers, armchair explorers and just about anyone who has lived in a building will find something new to look at in "Unusual San Francisco Architecture." -Mary Stofflet, San Diego Museum of Modern Art.
