SUMMARY:City of Wood: San Francisco and the Architecture of the Redwood Lumber Industry
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California. \nCalifornia’s 1849 gold rush triggered creation of the “instant city” of San Francisco as a base to exploit the rich natural resources of the American West. City of Wood examines how capitalists and workers logged the state’s vast redwood forests to create the financial capital and construction materials needed to build the regional metropolis of San Francisco. Architectural historian James Michael Buckley investigates the remote forest and its urban core as two poles of a regional “city.” This city consisted of a far-reaching network of spaces\, produced as company owners and workers arrayed men and machines to extract resources and create human commodities from the region’s rich natural environment. \nCombining labor\, urban\, industrial\, and social history\, City of Wood employs a variety of sources—including contemporary newspaper articles\, novels\, and photographs—to explore the architectural landscape of lumber\, from backwoods logging camps and company towns in the woods to busy lumber docks and the homes of workers and owners in San Francisco. By imagining the redwood lumber industry as a single community spread across multiple sites—a “City of Wood”—Buckley demonstrates how capitalist resource extraction links different places along the production value chain. The result is a paradigm shift in architectural history that focuses not just on the evolution of individual building design across time\, but also on economic connections that link the center and periphery across space. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by James Michael Buckley\, author\, urban planner\, and historian. \nTo register to attend online\, click here.
