Event: Join Us for GOOD Design SF with the Academy of Art

Okay, maybe you think the Bay Area is as green as green can be. But it's still got problems. That old futon? It's been rotting on the corner for two months. Every time it rains? Rivers of precious rainwater are running straight out into the bay. Transit infrastructure is antiquated, plenty of the city's energy is wasted, and a large percentage of the population has crazy high levels of cancer and respiratory problems.

So we're bringing GOOD Design, our program where designers all over the country solve urban problems, back to San Francisco, and this time, we're partnering with a dozen student teams from the Academy of Art University's School of Graphic Design. Whether it's a new vision for urban land use, an agricultural epiphany for the region, or an old-fashioned neighborhood vs. neighborhood energy smackdown, students have tackled seemingly intractable problems that confront the 21st century Bay Area, and confronted them with gusto. Join us to hear their presentations, congratulate the students on their hard work in service of their city, and see more than a few surprising ideas for the future of San Francisco.
