Summary:
From humble prefabs to the colossal Park Hill in Sheffield, the number of English buildings listed for their special architectural and historical interest is truly staggering; since 1987 alone, more than 300 have received the honor. Every one of them appears here, with 350 color photos, right from the very first post-war residence listed: Sir Albert Richardson's Bracken House, built for the Financial Times in 1955-59 and originally threatened with demolition. Students, architects, tourists, and historians will all find it fascinating to learn about how the process works, its controversial extension to recent architecture, and how the choices are made. Every region in England is covered, with London divided into three areas. The buildings range from traditional works to internationally outstanding modern structures, and include Gibberd's Liverpool and Spence's Coventry Cathedral, the Smithson's Hunstanton School, and Taylor & Green's Norfolk housing.

Summary:
San Francisco, a city of spectacular topography and cosmopolitan charm, now also boasts a formidable arts scene. A burst of activity centered around the opening of the Museum of Modern Art with its signature building by Mario Botta in 1995. Expansion by other museums, including projects by internationally renowned architects Aulenti, Herzog & de Meuron, Legoretta, Maki, and Polshek has further enhanced the city's profile. In addition, exhibition programs at alternative spaces and art schools have been reinvigorated, a new generation of artists and galleries has had a reenergizing effect, and the arrival of prestigious design stores has significantly enriched the dynamics.
