2019 Architecture & the City Festival | SF
The 16th annual month-long celebration features behind the scenes and walking tours, films, exhibitions, lectures and more that address varying aspects of the design and planning process.
This years festival theme, “We the City”, aims to explore how cultural diversity and connectivity inspire and inform the built environment. From the Dogpatch to the Outer Sunset — San Francisco is a unique, diverse, and multi-generational mosaic.
The Queen of Versailles is a humorous but sobering view of the über-American dream: a family decides to build the largest and most expensive single-family house in the United States during the recent economic recession. The film regards the changing shape of the American dream, particularly with respect to home ownership and its financial and emotional costs.
Free, but an RSVP is required.
The evening will begin with a short film: Big House (Al Bayt Al Kabeer) (2014) 5 min. Directed by Musa Syeed.
