Page & Turnbull developed a historic context statement for Modern and Postmodern architectural styles from 1960 to 2000 in San Francisco.
Page & Turnbull contributed to the San Francisco Survey (SF Survey) by preparing the “San Francisco Modern & Postmodern Architectural Styles, 1960-2000, Historic Context Statement.” The historic context statement addresses late 20th century architectural styles in the context of socioeconomic trends and urban planning in San Francisco, including Late Modernism, Brutalism, New Formalism, Third Bay Tradition, Postmodernism, and New Modernism. The historic context statement builds off of a previous context statement that addressed early and mid-century Modernism. Original research was based on archival primary source research, secondary research, and oral interviews with various local architects, planners, and critics.
The document addressed related topics such as urban renewal and redevelopment, public art, landscape architecture and urbanism, architectural exhibitions, and changes within architectural education and professional practice. The context statement addresses a period of San Francisco’s architectural history that has not previously been studied comprehensively within the context of historic resources planning and provides valuable evaluation frameworks, significance and integrity thresholds, that will aid planners and consultants in evaluating potential historic resources from the late 20th century.
