From Sharp Minds Come Sharp Products

Our beautiful city has inspired more songs, stories, and ground-breaking technology than you can count. But have you ever taken a stroll around town and wondered who was inspired enough to create our skyline? From City Hall to the Transamerica Pyramid, San Francisco is home to some of the most unique, breathtaking architecture in the U.S. But those building didn't just fall out of the sky. They are the result of copious amounts of planning, drawing, re-drawing, and enough (wo)man-hours to make an Amazon employee crack. The result, which we enjoy every day we manage to afford the rent, will be celebrated atArchitecture and the City, a month-long festival that will host exhibits, lectures, documentary films, and a bevy of other activities. Learn about the planning process and how designs take shape to create this diverse city while gaining some knowledge you didn't know existed in the first place. With over 40 programs on this year's slate, there will be something for everyone. Go behind the scenes and learn what a process it was to make San Francisco so grand.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
