Then came their whimsical accessories.A lot of Bay Area collectors are crazy for both.</p><p>“They are just gorgeous right on the shelves, with cool personalities, and bring innocence and beauty to the world,” said Nolan Haley, 38, a Labubu lover from Oakley, who attached several of the plush toys in colorful outfits to his crossbody bag.</p><p>His favorite is his first, Sesame Bean, a gray Labubu in a plush baby shark outfit. “My youngest son is autistic, and he loves baby sharks so I have her in an outfit,” Haley said.</p><p>Labubu lovers like Haley gathered Saturday at the South San Francisco Conference Center for the Hype Con Bubu Fest, a vibrant festival hosted by local chain Fugitive Toys. Fans and collectors came together to shop for accessories to customize their collectibles, trade them and connect with the community.</p><p>Known for its signature creepy-cute grin, Labubu was created by Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong-born artist, and first appeared in Lung’s 2015 picture book series “The Monsters.” It wasn’t until a 2019 collaboration with Chinese toy giant Pop Mart that Labubu made the leap into toy stardom, quickly gaining international popularity.</p><p>According to an announcement by Pop Mart, the company expects its profits to surge by more than 350% in the first half of the year, driven largely by Labubu’s explosive global appeal.</p><p>The popularity opened the door for entrepreneurs and small-business owners in the Bay Area to tap into a niche but thriving market, offering inspiration, innovation and opportunities to local artists and vendors. Tattoo artists, cosmetologists, artisan jewelry makers and accessory retailers are among those offering Labubu-related merchandise and services.</p><p>Labubu lovers are not satisfied with just collecting them; they also are looking for personal expression. Decorating their Labubus is a way to represent their identity, by getting matched tattoos, tooth gems or buying mini outfits for the toys.</p> <p> </p><p>Brittany Briscoe, a kindergarten art teacher from Hollister, went to the Bubu Fest with her two daughters. They searched for playful and endearing Labubu outfits and accessories to compete in the upcoming Labubu Best Dressed Contest in San Jose. “We want to win,” she said.</p><p>Added Haley: “You can put your own personality on, by putting the clothes on them. … Being a millennial, we love our tchotchkes. It’s fun and not weird or strange.”</p><p>Owen Smith, a tattoo artist in Martinez, carefully inked designs onto the Labuubus’ vinyl faces using techniques typically applied to synthetic skin. “It’s the first time I’ve seen tattooing on a toy become part of the trend,” he said.</p><p><p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SJM-L-BUBUFEST-0715-6.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Trippy Bunnies partners Karli Griffith, left, Zachary Priddy, and Arta Clementine sell accessories for all Labubu toys during the Labubu Fest in South San Francisco, Calif., on Saturday, July 12, 2025.

It’s Lynsi Snyder, the company’s sole owner, who told a podcaster she’s moving her family to Tennessee from California.</p><p>This California-centric food empire is undergoing a vast expansion to the East. It’s understandable that the boss wants to be close to the center of that evolution.</p><p>Also see: In-N-Out owner Lynsi Snyder addresses ‘In-N-Outta California’ backlash</p><p>The 77-year-old, family-owned chain will establish twin operational bases. It’s relocating the western HQ from Irvine to where it started in Baldwin Park while creating an eastern hub in Tennessee.</p><p>But among other things, the 43-year-old mother of four worth an estimated $7.3 billion told the podcaster, “There’s a lot of really great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here.”</p><p>When a billionaire criticizes California’s livability, everybody has an opinion. So, let’s see what my trusty spreadsheet says about Snyder’s choice for a family-friendly spot.</p><p>Five “best states for families” rankings – from WalletHub, Consumer Affairs, Money Rates, Home Snacks and Birth Injury Lawyers Group – were dissected and recalibrated into an overall grade based on (1) health, safety, and education, (2) quality of life and (3) economics.</p> <p> </p><p>The math confirms that Snyder is right. Tennessee is a better place than California to raise a family.</p><p>However, that conclusion comes with a huge caveat: Neither state is ideal for child-raising, based on these rankings.</p><p>Overall, California ranked No. 46. Only Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Louisiana scored worse than California. Tennessee ranked No. 37 among the states.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/OCR-L-INO-IRVINE-0212-FEATURED.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">In-N-Out Burger’s owner and president Lynsi Synder visits a replica of the chain’s first drive-thru in Baldwin Park on Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2014. (Photo by Watchara Phomicinda, San Gabriel Valley Tribune/SCNG)<p>If Snyder – or you, my dear reader – wants the most family-friendly state, the rankings say move to Iowa. No. 2 is Wisconsin, then Massachusetts, North Dakota and New Hampshire.</p><p>And since we often discuss California’s leading economic rivals, Texas ranked No. 39, and Florida ranked No. 38.</p>Three challenges<p>Let’s look under the hood of these grades to see why California and Tennessee rank poorly.</p><p>Start with the family basics – health, safety and education. These are core attributes any parent seeks.</p><p>And California, by this math, gets the better low score. The Golden State ranked No. 37 compared with Tennessee’s No. 41.</p><p>Tops for this slice of life were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Jersey and Maine. Conversely, avoid Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Nevada. And Texas? No. 44. Florida? No. 35.</p><p>Next, ponder grades for what are often intangible items, the quality of life that every household seeks. By my gauge of rankings, California is 38th among the states compared with Tennessee’s No. 27.</p><p>Want the best? Try Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Nebraska, New Hampshire and Vermont. And avoid Nevada, Mississippi, New Mexico, Louisiana and Alabama. Texas? No. 35. Florida? No. 24.</p><p>Then there’s the economics. For example, the cost of living weighed against opportunities for wealth.</p><p>For most of us, these can be life-altering factors. Money is likely something any In-N-Out employee thinking about a Tennessee move will consider.But for a billionaire like Snyder, not so much.</p><p>No surprise, California ranked fourth-worst ahead of only Hawaii, Nevada and Arizona. Tennessee is scored as cheaper, but it is only the 33rd best among the states.</p><p>The biggest bargains? Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Texas? No. 26. Florida? No. 45.</p><p>Moving in an easterly direction may be good for your family, but Tennessee isn’t the best choice, by this grading system.</p>Other factors<p>Snyder is nowhere near the first CEO to criticize California’s business climate.</p><p>Another state-vs.-state scorecard, compiled by my trusty spreadsheet last year, ranked business friendliness. It agreed with the corner offices.</p><p>California ranked No. 30, by this math. The worst spots for business were Hawaii, Louisiana and Alaska.</p><p>And Tennessee was No. 4, topped only by North Carolina, Utah and Texas. No. 5 was Florida.</p><p>But let me note something else that bothers many CEOs: how states rank for employees.</p><p>When you consider factors such as salaries and labor protections, my trusty spreadsheet last year found California was the third-best place to work. Only Massachusetts and Washington state were better. Tennessee ranked No. 41.</p><p>Worst? Mississippi, then Georgia, Louisiana, West Virginia and Idaho. Texas? No. 34. Florida? No. 20.</p>Lots of volunteers<p>Snyder is not alone in moving from California to Tennessee.</p><p>The Golden State lost 69,400 residents to the Volunteer State in 2021-23, the latest available migration statistics from the Census Bureau.</p><p>That’s just 3% of all the folks who left California in those three years. However, it’s 11% of everyone who relocated to Tennessee – tied with New York for the highest share east of the Mississippi River.</p><p>On the flip side, 14,200 left Tennessee for California in 2021-23. That’s 3% of both those who left Tennessee and all new Californians.</p>Final debate<p>This debate really doesn’t require a spreadsheet. Either you’re a California fan or a critic.</p><p>Let’s ponder what I see as the ultimate popularity variable: population.</p><p>Fans note that California has 38 million people who have chosen to call it home. That makes the state the most populous in the nation. Tennessee has 7 million, ranking No. 15.</p><p>Critics point to the flow. Between 2020 and 2024, California lost 90,000 residents. Only New York fared worse.</p><p>Meanwhile, Tennessee added 300,000 – seventh-best among the states.</p><p>Jonathan Lansner is the business columnist for the Southern California News Group.

Analysts expect the market to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 15.5% from 2025 to 2031.</p><p>The report defines the electric vehicle market as the manufacturing, sale and adoption of vehicles powered primarily by electricity. These include hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles.</p>Shift in consumer demand<p>The report highlights a major shift in consumer behavior. Sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles, once popular in many regions, are declining. At the same time, demand for fully electric cars is climbing sharply, particularly in Europe.

It reads as follows.</p><p>• “We’re not moving In-N-Out Burger’s corporate headquarters. In addition to our Baldwin Park office, we’re expanding with an Eastern Territory office in Tennessee to support our growth.”• “We’re not leaving California, or leaving our roots behind.

3219048	有图 <p>There I was, at 7 a.m. on a Monday morning, pulling on rubber boots alongside Highway 1 in the parking lot at Schoolhouse Beach in Bodega Bay. The sun had just come up, and the minus tide was going out.</p><p>Why was I there? Well, I kept asking myself exactly that question on the hour-plus ride from Marin County. Bartenders don’t do early mornings really well, and I was joining a few other like-minded beverage service professionals on a seaweed-foraging expedition set up through Strong Arm Farm, Sonoma Coast Seaweed Co. and Sausalito Liquor Co. We were out there to harvest flavor, and that flavor specifically resides in seaweed.</p><p>Umami is the flavor we were looking for. First defined in 1908 by a Japanese scientist, it’s considered the “fifth” flavor, rounding out the field of salty, sweet, sour and bitter. Umami might be most recognizable to Americans in Japanese cuisine. There are two “natural” ways to access umami: one is through edible fungus and algae, like seaweed and mushrooms, and the other is through fermented or aged animal products, such as fish sauce or aged cheese. Umami’s salty-savory aspect is often not described so much as a taste.</p><p>“Umami is a sensation that transcends the difference between flavor and texture,” said Brian Noyes, the owner-operator of Sonoma Coast Seaweed Co. “Vaguely corresponding sensory experiences exist in the spice of chile, pepper or horseradish. But almost in the opposite of a spicy sensation, umami is the feeling, the experience, of having one’s mouth be embraced from the inside.”</p><p>I wasn’t thinking much about mouth embracing as I clambered over the slippery rocks, searching for specific seaweed. I was thinking back to rock climbing for abalone in the days when one could do that. (Abalone harvesting was halted in 2017.) Instead of looking for slowly moving invertebrates, here we were looking for stationary seaweed, specifically kombu and nori. Rather than carrying an abalone iron, we carried scissors.</p><p>“We are out of our element when the tide is low,” said Heidi Herrmann, the proprietor of Strong Arm Farm, a company in concert with Sonoma Coast Seaweed Co. “We humans are the guests in this space. Everything you see of the seaweed is edible.</p><p>And to that point, she picks up a piece of nori off of a nearby rock and pops it into her mouth.</p><p>Our little group was instructed by Noyes on how to trim the leaves of kombu in a fashion that allowed it to still continue to thrive.</p> <p> </p><p>“No more than 30%,” he said.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/MIJ-L-BURKHART-COL-0723-02.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Brian Noyes forages for seaweed at Schoolhouse Beach. (Courtesy of Sausalito Liquor Co.)<p>“The commonality of a lot of us seaweed harvesters is that we are out there so much, we see how fragile that ecosystem really is. It’s really right in your hands — in my hands — literally,” said Herrmann, an environmental studies professor at Sonoma State University.</p><p>Sonoma Coast Seaweed Co., which was operated by Herrmann for 17 years, is transitioning its ownership to Noyes, which will be fully completed by September.</p><p>“As wild harvesters, we operate in a liminal space between the natural world and human civilization. We carry dual obligations: to protect and preserve the wild habitat from which we derive our living and to meet the needs and desires of society and the market,” said Noyes, who has two associate degrees, one in environmental horticulture and one in watershed management.</p><p>Dashi, the quintessential Japanese base broth, incorporates the two aspects of umami by combining kombu and katsuobushi (dried, fermented and often smoked tuna). And it may have been the Japanese who first introduced seaweed into gin making, but it could very well have been the Scottish who introduced it into the gin-making industry in California, albeit indirectly.</p><p>“I had heard of a distillery in Scotland called Isle of Harris that had created a gin using local sugar kelp,” said Scott Jampol, proprietor of Sausalito Liquor Co.</p><p>Intrigued by the taste and knowledgeable about the California coast, Jampol set out to find a local source for kelp.</p><p>“I don’t remember exactly who referred me to Heidi Herrmann, but she had been working in local seaweed foraging and sales for over a decade,” he said.</p><p>Herrmann also provides Jampol with Angelica root and Angelica seeds for his popular Marin Gin through Strong Arm Farm.</p><p>“We did not want to create a gin that tastes like seaweed,” Jampol said. “Not sure that would do well, but we did want to create one that is smoother than most other gins out there and that has a bright profile. And I think the nori contributes directly to that.”</p><p>Isle of Harris introduced their product in 2015, and California’s Gray Whale Gin, distilled in Sebastopol by Marsh Mokhtari, the former host of the Food Network’s “Extreme Chef,” followed quickly behind, introducing their gin flavored with kombu in 2016. Hanson of Sonoma has also just created a new “coastal” gin flavored with kombu, while Jampol opts for nori in his Marin Coastal Gin.</p><p>Oftentimes people think of umami as exclusively pertaining to monosodium glutamate (MSG). The two things are not the same. MSG is not found in nature and is synthesized in a laboratory by fermenting sugar-based ingredients with microbes and adding sodium (salt) as a stabilizer. Protein-rich seaweed is already naturally imbued with glutamates and needs no further processing, although drying increases the shelf life. Furthermore, some people have reported sensitivity to MSG.</p><p>We had less than an hour to forage for seaweed, predicted exactly by modern science’s absolute knowledge of the exact times for a minus tide, down to the minute.</p><p>“We’ve only got 15 minutes left,” said Noyes over the din of crashing waves steadily rising on a nearby beach.</p><p>When those 15 minutes were up, our crew gathered, cold, wet and tired, in the parking lot. Altogether we had collected nearly a dozen bags of both nori and kombu, some or all of which might ultimately find itself into one of your favorite local gins.</p><p>Details: For more information on Strong Arm Farm, go to strongarmfarm.com.

3219046	无图 <p>By Clare Duffy, CNN</p><p>New York — OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the world may be on the precipice of a “fraud crisis” because of how artificial intelligence could enable bad actors to impersonate other people.</p>Related Articles Fremont goes ‘all in on AI boom’ with new tech campus American Air CEO says using AI to set fares is a ‘bait and switch’ move Expanding AI tech company leases South Bay office building U.S. Education Department encourages schools to use AI in the classroom Google seeks licensing talks with news groups, following AI rivals <p>“A thing that terrifies me is apparently there are still some financial institutions that will accept a voice print as authentication for you to move a lot of money or do something else — you say a challenge phrase, and they just do it,” Altman said. “That is a crazy thing to still be doing… AI has fully defeated most of the ways that people authenticate currently, other than passwords.”</p><p>The comments were part of his wide-ranging interview about the economic and societal impacts of AI at the Federal Reserve on Tuesday. He also told the audience, which included, representatives of large US financial institutions, about the role he expects AI to play in the economy.</p><p>His appearance comes as the White House is expected to release its “AI Action Plan” in the coming days, a policy document to outline its approach to regulating the technology and promoting America’s dominance in the AI space.</p><p>OpenAI, which provided recommendations for the plan, has ramped up its presence on and around Capitol Hill in recent months.</p><p>On Tuesday, the company confirmed it will open its first Washington, DC, office early next year to house its approximately 30-person workforce in the city. Chan Park, OpenAI’s head of global affairs for the US and Canada, will lead the new office alongside Joe Larson, who is leaving defense technology company Anduril to become OpenAI’s vice president of government.</p><p>The company will use the space to host policymakers, preview new technology, and provide AI trainings, for example, to teachers and government officials. It will also house research into AI’s economic impact and how to improve access to the technology.</p> <p> </p><p>Despite Altman’s warnings about the technology’s risks, OpenAI has urged the Trump administration to avoid regulation it says could hamper tech companies’ ability to compete with foreign AI innovations. Earlier this month, the US Senate voted to strike a controversial provision from Trump’s agenda bill that would have prevented states from enforcing AI-related laws for 10 years.</p>A fraud crisis<p>Altman isn’t alone in worrying that AI will supercharge fraud.</p><p>The FBI warned about these AI voice and video “cloning” scams last year. Multiple parents have reported that AI voice technology was used in attempts to trick them out of money by convincing them that their children were in trouble. And earlier this month, US officials warned that someone using AI to impersonate Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s voice had contacted foreign ministers, a US governor and a member of Congress.</p><p>“I am very nervous that we have an impending, significant, impending fraud crisis,” Altman said.</p><p>“Right now, it’s a voice call; soon it’s going be a video or FaceTime that’s indistinguishable from reality,” Altman said. He warned that while his company isn’t building such impersonation tools, it’s a challenge the world will soon need to confront as AI continues to evolve. Altman is backing a tool called The Orb, built by Tools for Humanity, that says it will offer “proof of human” in a world where AI makes it harder to distinguish what, and who, is real online.</p><p>Altman also explained what keeps him up at night: the idea of bad actors making and misusing AI “superintelligence” before the rest of the world has advanced enough to defend against such an attack — for example, a US adversary using AI to target the American power grid or create a bioweapon. That comment could speak to fears within the White House and elsewhere on Capitol Hill about China outpacing US tech companies on AI.</p><p>Altman also said he worries about the prospect of humans losing control of a superintelligent AI system, or giving the technology too much decision-making power. Various tech companies, including OpenAI, are chasing AI superintelligence — and Altman has said he thinks the 2030s could bring AI intelligence far beyond what humans are capable of — but it remains unclear how exactly they define that milestone and when, if ever, they’ll reach it.</p>AI’s impact on jobs? ‘No one knows’<p>But Altman said he’s not as worried as some of his peers in Silicon Valley about AI’s potential impact on the workforce, after leaders such as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy have warned the technology will take jobs.</p><p>Instead, Altman believes that “no one knows what happens next.”</p><p>“There’s a lot of these really smart-sounding predictions,” he said, “‘Oh, this is going to happen on this and the economy over here.’ No one knows that. In my opinion, this is too complex of a system, this is too new and impactful of a technology, it’s very hard to predict.”</p><p>Still, he does have some thoughts. He said that while “entire classes of jobs will go away,” new types of work will emerge. And Altman repeated a prediction he’s made previously that if the world could look forward 100 years, the workers of the future probably won’t have what workers today consider “real jobs.”</p><p>“You have everything you could possibly need. You have nothing to do,” Altman said of the future workforce. “So, you’re making up a job to play a silly status game and to fill your time and to feel useful to other people.”</p><p>The sentiment seems to be that Altman thinks we shouldn’t worry about AI taking jobs because, in the future, we won’t really need jobs anyway, although he didn’t detail how the future AI tools would, for example, reliably argue a case in court or clean someone’s teeth or construct a house.</p><p>In conjunction with Altman’s speech, OpenAI released a report compiled by its chief economist, Ronnie Chatterji, outlining ChatGPT’s productivity benefits for workers.</p><p>In the report, Chatterji — who joined OpenAI as its first chief economist after serving as coordinator of the CHIPS and Science Act in the Biden White House — compared AI to transformative technologies such as electricity and the transistor. He said ChatGPT now has 500 million users globally.</p><p>Among US users, 20% use ChatGPT as a “personalized tutor” for “learning and upskilling,” according to the report, although it didn’t elaborate on what kinds of things people are learning through the service. Chatterji also noted that more than half of ChatGPT’s American users are between the ages of 18 and 34, “suggesting that there may be long-term economic benefits as they continue to use AI tools in the workplace going forward.”</p><p>Over the next year, Chatterji plans to work with economists Jason Furman and Michael Strain on a longer study of AI’s impact on jobs and the US workforce. That work will take place in the new Washington, DC, office.</p><p>The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2025 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

3219045	有图 <p>If you had to name a quintessential Bay Area style of building, you might go with an elegant Victorian or a cute Arts and Crafts bungalow. You might pick something from the past such as Mission Santa Clara, or something modern, with lots of wood and glass, set amid redwoods or along the waterfront.</p><p>Those architectural styles may seem wildly different, but they are all an integral part of the landscape. If you want to understand the origins and diversity of the Bay Area’s architecture, historians say you have to first consider that it developed in response to the region’s natural beauty and mild, Mediterranean climate, which allows people to be outdoors year-round.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/BLENDER-2.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">An exterior view of Mission San Jose on April 18, 2012 in Fremont. (Dai Sugano/Staff)<p>But other factors have influenced architecture here. From the Gold Rush through World War II and into the 21st century, the region has been a magnet for people streaming in from other parts of the United States and around the world. Seeking a better life, these migrants helped create a world-class metropolitan region of 7.3 million people that has long been known for its diverse communities and its corresponding variety in architectural styles, from traditional to modern to international.</p><p>What’s less considered — but equally important — in the Bay Area’s architectural history is its location on the western edge of the continental U.S., according to architects, authors and historians Alan Hess and Mitchell Schwarzer.</p><p>For millennia, the Ohlone and Coast Miwok inhabitants pretty much had the place to themselves. They built conical-shaped homes out of tule reeds and other local materials, but spent most of their time outdoors, hunting and gathering food in accordance with the seasons. It could be said that these indigenous people pioneered the concept of California indoor-outdoor living.</p><p>Until the Gold Rush and the opening of the transcontinental railroad in 1869, the surrounding mountains, deserts and oceans kept the Bay Area and the rest of California pretty much isolated from world centers of power and culture. California’s early colonizers, starting with the Spanish in the late 1700s, found it could take months to get here, traveling by wagon over the Oregon trail or sailing down and around Cape Horn.</p><p>“It was much easier to get from Europe to Chile than to California,” said Schwarzer, author of “Architecture of the San Francisco Bay Area: A History and Guide.”</p><p>The people who made it to the Bay Area therefore had to be pretty adventurous and motivated by a fierce desire to “to start a new life, forget the past and to live the life the way they wanted. They had the freedom to do that in the Bay Area,” said Hess, the former architecture critic for Bay Area News Group.</p> <p> </p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/MAG-INSIDECOVER-XXXX-07-1.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Interior view of the Hearst Memorial Mining Building located at UC Berkeley in Berkeley, Calif., on Monday, May 19, 2025. (Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group)<p>For architects, this freedom meant that “no one’s looking over your shoulder,” Hess said. “The many talented architects, who were either born here or immigrated here from the East Coast or the Midwest or Europe, they came here because of that freedom to really do something new and different.”</p><p>There also was a blank-slate quality to the Bay Area, which fostered experimentation and variety. Architects could import familiar styles from the East Coast, Europe or Asia, then modify them to fit the local landscape or changing times. Likewise, new residents could choose the kind of home they would live in. “If they wanted a castle, they could build a castle,” Hess said. “If they wanted a rustic cabin in the forest, they could do that as well.”</p><p>Isolation of course is no longer an issue for the Bay Area. But pressures on the population and on the natural environment have pushed the region’s architecture in new directions, including a focus on creating new forms of multi-family housing to address the region’s dearth of affordable housing, Schwarzer said. After the COVID-19 pandemic emptied office towers in San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland, architects and urban planners also are having to rethink how they envision workplaces.</p><p>Meanwhile, engagement with the landscape remains the Bay Area’s “calling card,” Schwarzer said. But this landscape is affected by climate change, and earthquakes and wildfires remain a threat, leading to modes of residential and commercial construction that are environmentally sustainable and can survive calamities.</p><p>Still, Schwarzer and Hess are optimistic about the future. “Surely the beauty and dynamism of our natural environment encourages architects to strive for something similarly magnificent in the built environment,” Schwarzer wrote in his book, while Hess said: “Architects have a sense of continuing tradition that they can bring into current times, but it’s rooted in something solid.”</p><p>Here’s an overview of the eras and styles that have shaped the Bay Area landscape:</p><p>The Missions</p><p>The traditional architectural practices that Spanish missionaries brought from Southern Europe were easily adaptable to the Bay Area landscape. The abundance of clay, straw and other materials could be turned into adobe, used to build their missions, presidios, pueblos, and ranchos. The 21 California missions, from San Diego to Sonoma, still offer the best examples of the classic Spanish style. Because they needed to attract attention as religious centers, they incorporated many of the embellishments appreciated today – white-washed walls and red-tile roofs, bell towers and courtyards graced by fountains.</p><p>The Gold Rush and the Gilded Age</p><p>After gold was discovered in the Sierra foothills, California’s isolation ended. From 1847 to 1865, San Francisco’s population soared from 450 to more than 100,000, hastening its integration into the American and world economies, according to Schwarzer. The booming economy, which continued past the Civil War, created a new class of millionaires who wanted to flaunt their wealth. Some looked to the classical styles preferred by European royalty or Gilded Age barons for ideas on how to build grand mansions.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/BLENDER-10.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">The famous row of homes known as the “Painted Ladies” are seen from Alamo Square Park February 2, 2009 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)<p>The Painted Ladies</p><p>Everyday architecture in the late 1800s also “turned up the decorative heat” to bring on a proliferation of richly ornamented homes, with decorative columns, molding and other embellishments made possible by the availability of redwood, Schwarzer said. The Victorian era culminated with the storybook Queen Anne style, with dramatic corner towers, witches’ hat turrets and ornate porches, followed by the more streamlined aesthetic of Edwardian homes.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/BLENDER-3.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Birds swim near the Palace of Fine Arts rotunda on May 8, 2009, in San Francisco. (Justin Sullivan/Getty Images/TNS)<p>City Grandeur</p><p>The approach of the 20th century ushered in a taste for reviving all kinds of classic styles in the Bay Area, such as Tudor, Georgian, Colonial and Mission, the latter best represented by Leland Stanford’s grand scheme to build a prestigious new college in Palo Alto. Bay Area leaders meanwhile looked to bring “City Beautiful” concepts for their cities, especially following the1906 earthquake. The style thought to best convey this grandeur was Beaux-Arts, which draws on the principles of French neoclassicism and incorporates Italian Renaissance and Baroque elements. Architect Willis Polk helped develop a plan for San Francisco’s Civic Center, which included the 1915 Beaux-Arts City Hall, while other notable Beaux-Arts buildings include Bernard Maybeck’s Palace of Fine Arts and John Galen Howard’s Doe Library, Hearst Memorial Mining Building and the Greek Theatre on the UC Berkeley campus.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/MAG-JMORGAN-25.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">An exterior view of the Berkeley Playhouse, a building that was designed by famed architect Julia Morgan, originally as a Presbyterian Church, is seen on April 25, 2025, in Berkeley, Calif. (Dai Sugano/Bay Area News Group)<p>First Bay</p><p>Perhaps as a reaction to Beaux-Arts haughtiness, Polk, Maybeck and Julia Morgan also worked in the First Bay tradition, which shares similarities with the English Arts and Crafts’ emphasis on rusticity, simplicity and fidelity to natural materials. In the Bay Area, redwood also became the go-to material for the shingled-sided First Bay homes, churches and community centers that Maybeck and Morgan designed. Arts and Crafts also became the original style associated with Bay Area bungalows, those affordable, solid, working-class homes that became an “icon” of residential urban and suburban neighborhoods, starting in the early 1900s, wrote UC Berkeley geographer Richard Walker and urban planner Alex Schafran.</p><p>Art Deco</p><p>During the 1920s and 1930s, many prominent Bay Area builders chose Art Deco to celebrate the region’s growing economic and industrial power. Originating in Paris and flourishing in Europe and the United States, the style represented a belief in social and technological progress. Art Deco also became a preferred style for glamorous Bay Area entertainment venues, some of which still operate today as movie theaters or concert halls.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/MAG-LANDMARKS-17.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">The grand interior of the Paramount Theatre photographed in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday, April 9, 2013.

(Laura A. Oda/Bay Area News Group Archives)<p>Modernism</p><p>By the 1950s, up-and-coming 20th-century Bay Area architects embraced the futuristic design philosophies championed by the Bauhaus and International Schools, which “cast off the conventions of the past,” Schwarzer wrote. Well-known Bay Area monuments of modernism include Frank Lloyd Wright’s Marin County Civic Center, the former San Jose City Hall and the Oakland Museum of California, the latter built with concrete and the bold, geometric forms of Brutalism.</p><p>Even before the turn of the century, the urban centers of San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco had begun to go vertical with the use of steel-reinforced concrete, though early skyscrapers tended to look to the past with Beaux-Arts, Romanesque or Gothic exteriors. Following World War II, office towers, with modernist-style glass curtain walls, began to rise, such as the 28-story Kaiser Building in Oakland.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/BLENDER-4-1.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">A duplex on Crown Boulevard in San Jose, Calif., on Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group)<p>The Suburban Ranch House</p><p>One of the leading Bay Area practitioners of modernism was Wiliam Wurster, the dean of UC Berkeley’s School of Architecture, who applied its principles to a signature kind of California construction – the suburban ranch house. Wurster’s usually small homes featured flowing interiors that opened up to the outdoors. To address the post-World War II population boom, Wurster also helped build innovative, affordable, mass-produced homes, similar to the efforts of developer Joseph Eichler, another modernist fanatic who built thousands of homes in new suburban tracts across the Bay Area.</p><p>The ranch house proved to be highly adaptable to a variety of settings and styles, with the Bay Area flatlands and hillside neighborhoods filled with rows of modernist split-levels or homes that emulated more traditional looks, from Cape Cod to Tudor Revival to the neo-Tuscan style that became “the rage” in the 1980s, with increasingly bloated footprints, according to Walker and Schafran.</p><img src="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/BLENDER-5-1.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">Workers leave Googles Bay View campus in Mountain View, California on June 27, 2022.

Apple opened its $5 billion “spaceship” headquarters in Cupertino, while sleek, environmentally sustainable, ultramodern designs such as San Jose City Hall and the new M.H. de Young Museum have become de rigueur for any new government, corporate or cultural building that aspires to world-class status.</p> Bay Area architecture we love: Why we enjoy such beauty and variety	查看 13543	硅谷新闻网	2025-07-23 08:45:47 2025-07-26 20:38:57	word
