Summary:
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.

Summary:
As water becomes the next critical commodity in a rapidly warming world, the prestigious Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg Prize for industrial design articles was awarded in 2007 to German designer Lars Meyer, for a brilliantly simple proposal to purify drinking water in Bangladesh. After studying low-tech possibilities for water purification – and analyzing the many failures of systems provided by conventional aid schemes – Meyer came up with an inexpensive (and close to foolproof) process using the seeds of a fast-growing tropical tree and indigenous pottery-making. The designer’s respect for the culture of Bangladesh is the motivating force behind this potentially world-changing project. A small but fascinating book.
