Stanley Saitowitz has become, in his tenure in the bay area, almost as integral a part of the modern Bay Area look as his forebears at EHDD and MLTW. Now teaching at UC Berkeley, Saitowitz is a critic of San Francisco's Victorian style, at least in how it limits the imagination of its residents and architects. "There's nothing at the public level that educates people about architectural options," he laments. "Because people are surrounded by old-fashioned Victorian architecture in this city, that's the boundary of what they know."

His projects include such boundary-pushing modernistic spaces as Russian Hill's Shaw House, the Portrero and Yerba Buena Lofts (pictured), Riverside's Photography Museum, Boston's New England Holocaust Memorial, the new San Francisco Embarcadero Promenade, UC Berkeley's Visual Arts Library and lots more.
