What's Out There Weekend San Francisco
September 17-18, 2011 |
Join The Cultural Landscape Foundation in San Francisco on September 17 and 18 for What’s Out There Weekend, featuring a series of FREE expert guided tours highlighting the city’s remarkable array of historic designed landscapes. During the weekend, members of the public can visit 25 publicly accessible sites around San Francisco and the Bay Area.
With its rocky, hilly terrain and dramatic Pacific vistas, the Bay Area is home to remarkable and pioneering forms of landscape architecture. From Oakland’s Kaiser Center Roof Garden to Levi's Plaza in San Francisco to Santa Clara Central Park, this region has the broadest and most diverse Modernist landscape legacy in the country. The city’s landscapes respond to its unique hills and views, in places like St. Francis Wood, the Japanese Tea Garden, and Stern Grove.The goal of What’s Out There Weekend is to tell the fascinating stories of these valuable places and provide the public with opportunities to discover the individuals who designed and created them.
