PAST EXHIBITIONS IN THE GALLERY

The Architecture of (Social) Responsibility Exhibition
April 16 to May 29, 2009

The Architecture of (Social) Responsibility explores the contribution of six architecture nonprofit organizations and design collectives based in San Francisco. These visionaries have shaped the urban landscape by designing affordable housing for the poorest San Franciscans (Asian Neighborhood Design); rebuilt Sri Lankan villages devastated by tsunamis (Architecture for Humanity); challenged our assumptions about the use of urban parking spaces (Rebar); plowed up urban sidewalks and created wildflower gardens (PlantSF); educated kids about careers in architecture (Architectural Foundation of San Francisco); and reshaped the possibilities of pro bono service in the architecture profession (Public Architecture).

The exhibition is one of the cornerstone events taking place during the 2009 AIA National Convention.
