William Wurster (1895 - 1973) was an influential Bay Area architect who designed hundreds of houses throughout California, known for using regional materials and designing simple homes appropriate to the California landscape.
Like many Bay Area architects, he found a mentor in Bernard Maybeck.
After years of teaching at MIT and the University of California, Berkeley, Wurster co-founded the College of Environmental Design at Cal.
