Architecture and the City

Architecture and the City Festival - September 1-30, 2012

Celebrating San Francisco’s unique built environment and design community, Architecture and the City is the first festival of its kind in the Bay Area to feature architectural tours, film screenings, exhibitions, design lectures and more.

Created in 2003, Architecture and the City has now grown into the nation’s largest architecture festival, showcasing San Francisco's diverse architectural talent and presenting a forum to promote new ideas for innovative design and development in the city. Whether festival participants are looking to become involved with the local architecture and design community or simply want to learn more about the city in which they live, Architecture and the City offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience San Francisco.

With the 2012 Architecture and the City festival theme Design: It’s About Time, this year's program aims to explore the enduring power of design in our built environment.
