forgotten modernism



................................................................................................................................................................

Three years ago, Murphy returned to San Francisco after a brief stind in London. Seeing the city with semi 
- fresh eyes made him realize that there are great modernism structures that get lost among all the Victorians, 
Edwardians, bay windows, Beaux Arts finery, and decorative cornices that city' s structures are best known 
for ( and wich we do love ). "There' s so much good modern architecture in the city, but it gets ignored,"  says 
Murphy. 
"I was surprised that the city still has these undiscovered architectural geat and there are so many more 
out there waiting to be found,"  he continues. Murphy travels around the city, finds a scene, and creates a 
compose image of the surrounding the landmarks. 
While the view might not be exactly true to life, all the parts exist in that line of sight.
