Celebrating San Francisco's unique built environment and design community, Architecture and the City is the first series of its kind in the Bay Area to feature architectural tours, film screenings, exhibitions, design lectures and more. Now in its fourth year, the month long festival engages members of the public, design enthusiasts and architects and designers with a deeper appreciation for San Francisco's rich architectural and design community.
Whether you hope to become more involved with the local architecture and design community or want to learn more about San Francisco's impressive architectural past, present, or future, Architecture and the City is bound to offer you an unparalleled opportunity to experience our city in a new way. In honor of the annual series, Mayor Gavin Newsom has officially proclaimed the month of September a time for San Franciscans to celebrate "Architecture and the City."
