Striking, stunning, shocking! This may be the response to the dramatic breed of architectural hybridism and design that can be seen around the world. According to architect Charles Bloszies, the quest for sustainability will increasingly concentrate development in cities, resulting in architecture that will be a fusion of new and old forms. Furthermore, policy incentives have encouraged major additions to existing buildings. He will explore this trend with case studies and examples of buildings as near as 1 Kearny Street (the author's office) and the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco; and as far as Paris, Madrid and China.

Author and speaker Charles Bloszies is an architect, structural engineer, writer, and educator. He is principal of an award winning practice in San Francisco engaged in merging both architectural and technical disciplines resulting in thoughtful, innovative, and economically executed work. His firm has completed various urban infill projects and major additions to old buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area.
