Architecture and the City - Tours and Parties!

The San Francisco chapter of the American Institute of Architects is organizing a series of "architectural tours, film screenings, exhibitions, design lectures and more"...

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 third year, the month-long celebration 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, are looking for an architect, 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." [more...]

The series includes a party on September 1st (RSVP required), a home tour on September 16-17, and walking tours all month long.
