2012 Architecture and the City Festival
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (August 30, 2012) – The American Institute of Architects, San Francisco chapter (AIA San Francisco) and the Center for Architecture + Design announce the ninth annual Architecture and the City festival, the nation’s largest architectural festival of its kind. Taking place in San Francisco every September, the month-long celebration features behind the scenes and walking tours, films, exhibitions, lectures and more, providing opportunities for participants to engage with the local architecture community and experience design in a myriad of ways throughout the city.
Presented in collaboration with nearly 100 organizations, this year’s festival features over 40 events and is sure to include something inspiring for everyone.
While pop-up stores and rotating storefront galleries may be due, in part, to the economic times, the adaptive reuse of older buildings and public spaces has redefined the way we live and work.The 2012 festival theme, Design: It’s About Time, aims to inspire attendees to consider both the notion of permanence and the enduring power of design in the built environment, and to explore the layers of history that have shaped San Francisco.

San Francisco 2012 Architecture and the City Festival – Exhibition
The featured 2012 exhibition, Greetings From San Francisco: Postcards from the City’s Past, is a series of vintage postcards collected by Peter Espe, a senior project manager at HOK. Espe’s collection of roughly 1,200 San Francisco images offers a glimpse of the city from before the 1906 earthquake to 1925. The collection includes detailed views of the city’s distinct architecture, from its growing neighborhoods to landmark buildings, and writings that reflect the popularity of the postcard at the time.
Don’t miss the accompanying exhibition lecture, where Espe will be joined in discussing the collecting process and history behind these striking images with Jonathan Lammers (architectural historian, Page & Turnbull), who will give an architectural and sociopolitical context to this period (roughly 1890-1929), and AIASF president Carolyn Kiernat (Page & Turnbull), who will moderate the discussion.

EXHIBITIONS
Architecture of Consequence: San Francisco
August 31 – October 21
Opening Reception August 31, 6:00 pm
AIA San Francisco/Center for Architecture + Design Gallery
130 Sutter Street, Suite 600, San Francisco
Join AIA San Francisco and the Center for Architecture + Design in welcoming Ole Bouman, Director of the Netherlands Architecture Institute, for opening remarks and a provocative exploration of the changing role of architects and architecture in contemporary society.
At the dawn of the 21st century, the human race faces a number of colossal challenges. The economic crisis, food and energy shortages, decreased leisure time and weakened social cohesion impact our lives in new and astonishing ways. While these challenges are daunting, they represent significant opportunity for new design solutions and value propositions. Broadening the notion of value to include long-term social benefits creates new space, both mentally and physically, for fresh ideas and new perspectives.
In an effort to advance critical dialogue with the international architectural community, we are delighted to announce a unique collaboration with the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI). In 2009, the NAI presented the Architecture of Consequence – Dutch Designs on the Future exhibition. Over the past two years it has been presented in multiple locations around the world. This latest incarnation, in San Francisco, is the first to add content to the exhibition, with the inclusion of new work by four Bay Area architecture firms.
In doing so we hope to advance this innovative agenda and reveal how architects can practice in new ways that reinvigorate the field and reposition architects at the vanguard of social change. From modest interventions to utopian visions, the firms participating in this ground-breaking exhibition express an admirable confidence in our shared future. The result is a unique portfolio of progressive design strategies and demonstrable evidence that architects hold the creative vision needed to reshape our future.
Other Exhibitions include:
• Teaching Architecture: 3 Positions (Made in Switzerland)
• Reclaim Market Street!
• Constructed Realities
• Music for a City, Music for the World: 100 Years with the San Francisco Symphony
• SEAT
• Outdoor Exploratorium at Fort Mason
• Museum of Craft and Design
FAMILY PROGRAMS
