One of the main principles of permaculture is that “the problem is the solution.” Problem: tons of waste cups created by attendees of the OutsideLands concert in San Francisco. Solution: a fabulous recycled cup canopy. BIOS Design Collective tapped a keg and invited their friends over for a canopy party, building a gorgeous wave of concave color at Stable Cafe just in time for Architecture and the City.

This year the American Institute of Architects in San Francisco kicked off the AIA Home Tours with an excellent architect’s forum held at the new, cutting edge Autodesk Design Center at One Market. The Autodesk Gallery provided a highly interactive venue, featuring some of our favorite international, award winning projects designed with Autodesk software. In fact, walking the room feels a bit like Inhabitat’s virtual reality come true, as many of the innovative designs we feature here are on display in the Gallery.
Attention all Bay Area architecture aficionados! This September AIA San Francisco and the Center for Architecture + Design will be presenting the fifth annual Architecture and the City Festival.
