INSPIRATIONS
The following are suggested topics to consider when submitting a program proposal. View the 2022 Architecture + the City Calendar of Events for inspirations.

• What has been the narrative of architecture and design amidst a global pandemic?
• How has architecture impacted you and the (re)use of space?
• How have you stayed connected during a time of separation and what types of architecture and design have you found inspiration?
• What challenges continue to be part of housing, climate change, economic and health equity?
• How do we design with connection in mind, that is human-centered and focuses on health, inclusivity and resilience?
• How can we seamlessly connect the present urban community to empower a more deliberate, livable San Francisco?

Each year the festival explores and reveals the many layers of San Francisco and how ­architecture and design play a key role in the ever-changing urban landscape. We look forward to hearing your programming ideas that reflect the current narrative.
