From Transamerica to Salesforce Tower: SF’s Urban Form & Future

To build or not to build, where to do it, and how much to build has been a fierce topic of debate for most of the City’s history. How does the recent building boom differ and what does the changing skyline tell us about the future of urban living? Join in an afternoon discussion with Princeton Professor Alison Isenberg (Designing San Francisco: Art, Land, and Urban Renewal in the City by the Bay), and SPUR’s Urban Design Policy Director Benjamin Grant as they discuss the contraption-like evolution of San Francisco and the connections between architecture, urban planning, and machines.  Panel presented in conjunction with Contraption: Rediscovering California Jewish Artists.
