the Architecture and The City
Festival – a month of programs
celebrating design, planning and
the building process.
This year, the public got an
ultimate insiders’ guide to San
Francisco through the lens of
some of the people who really
know the City: our very own
staff here at Public Works.
An arts-centric crowd gathered
at PROXY SF in Hayes Valley
on Thursday, Sept. 14, for a fun-
filled evening where images and
stories of favorite San Francisco
hidden gems were shared
among the guests and designers
from our Building Design and
Construction Division. We
celebrated the beauty of the
built and natural environment
spread across the City’s nearly
47 square miles.
The hidden gems ranged from
lesser-known romantic settings,
such as the Shakespeare Garden
in Golden Gate Park, to sites
hidden in plain sight, including
the City Hall Dome and the
Noe Valley Town Square. Others
included newly completed
Public Works projects, among
them the Public Safety Building
