At the 2016 Design Awards Ceremony and Gala, AIA San Francisco welcomed over 300 attendees to honor 19 design projects in the categories of architecture and interior architecture, with commendations in the areas of historic preservation, social responsibility, sustainability and urban design. We were thrilled to gather the design community together at the newly renovated Herbst Theater, San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center to celebrate with this year’s award recipients. AIASF was joined by Master of Ceremonies Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Awardees were recognized for their exceptional contributions to the built environment; integrating the overall practice of sustainable design principles in all categories with the support of PG&E’s Pacific Energy Center. A special Historic Preservation Commendation was awarded to San Francisco Public Works, Building Design & Construction, and Carey & Co. for their work on the War Memorial Veterans Building. After the awards ceremony, honorees and guests gathered in the Green Room to enjoy hors d’oeuvres by Carrie Dove, Sonoma County wines, and fine music provided by a live jazz quartet from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. ■

IN_SIGHT ON_SITE BEYOND FUNCTION ON VIEW June 10 - July 28, 2016 OPENING RECEPTION June 10, 2016 Currently in the AIASF + CADSF Gallery: www.aiasf.org/exhibitions
On June 10, 2016, AIASF celebrated the opening of its In_Sight On_Site exhibition, which highlighted the richness, diversity, and visionary brilliance of the local interdisciplinary design community. Art lovers from across the architecture profession and beyond swarmed the AIASF gallery to enjoy a Friday evening of hors d’oeuvres, wine toasts, great conversation, and fantastic artwork. Featuring a variety of creative pieces – from paintings, drawings, and photography, to jewelry, sculpture, interactive multimedia installations, and much more – the In_Sight On_Site: Beyond Function exhibition ran through July 28th, showcasing the talents of professionals in the architecture and design community beyond their design concepts for the built environment. Artwork ranged from Daniel Morago’s black and white photographic abstractions of the Hoover Dam and water reflections on the underbelly of a bridge, to expressive and meditative monotype prints; watercolors; and ceramic, wood and wire sculptures by Sherry Williamson. In collaboration with AIASF, the exhibition was made possible with support by the AIASF Mentorship Committee, AIAGA SF, Bay Area Young Architects, and the AIASF Latinos in Architecture Committee. ■ 16 | AIASF 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

FILLET UP: DESIGN MIXER FILLET UP: Design Mixer is a quarterly event for design professionals to meet new friends, reconnect with old colleagues, and network across the rich and diverse design disciplines the SF Bay Area has to offer. On a play of words, the fillet command in AutoCAD constructs an arc between two straight lines. We hope these mixers will continue to build and connect the design community of individuals, firms, and organizations who make our built environment a great place to be. â–

AIASF and CADSF kicked off the opening of our Architecture and the City festival with a special night at Heath Ceramics in the Mission District of San Francisco. We celebrated with the community of individuals and organizations that make the month of learning and exploration possible. Walking tours were a big highlight of the festival, as we had various adventures exploring an array of neighborhoods relating to the theme Resilient City: Strength by Design. Walking tours give you a chance to tour new (or familiar) neighborhoods through the eyes of an architect, designer, and/or architectural historians. We enjoyed exclusive tours of Oliver Ranch in Sonoma, and discovered the new home for an established organization reaching the Tenderlion residents of San Francisco. This year also marks the 14th San Francisco Living: Home Tours program. We were happy to showcase 5 single family homes and an affordable housing project on Saturday September 24, 2016. Thank you to all the architects, design teams, and volunteers who make this program possible every year! Visit www.aiasf.org/hometours to learn more about the homes.
Join us in September 2017 for the next Architecture and the City festival. â–
