How Downtown Became Modern - The Work of Hertzka & Knowles

The office of Hertzka & Knowles was one of the leading forces in post-war architecture in San Francisco. While less known today than contemporaries like Anshen & Allen or SOM, they were responsible for shaping the design of many of the Financial District office buildings, including the first truly modern downtown office building (160 Pine Street), and - in collaboration with SOM - the legendary Crown Zellerbach Building.

To rediscover their incredible legacy, the 爱豆app/Northern California chapter invites you to a walking tour through the Financial District. We will explore a handful of their landmark buildings, delve into recent research on Wayne Hertzka and William Knowles, and find out more about the fascinating design evolution of the Crown Zellerbach Building's iconic sunken garden.
