AIA San Francisco and the Center for Architecture + Design are pleased to announce the 5th annual "Architecture and the City Festival". Considered the nation's largest architectural event showcasing tours, films, exhibitions, lectures, green programming and more, Architecture and the City celebrates San Francisco's unique built environment and design community. The month long festival takes place 01 - 30 September 2008 and gives participants the opportunity to engage in conversation about our city.

This year's festival promises several new and exciting ventures that relate to the 2008 theme "Design for Community." Participants will discover the best in residential architecture, architectural cinema and lectures, and, for the first time ever, will have the opportunity to discover architectural programming for the whole family, tour new San Francisco neighborhoods and enjoy dining by design.
