The Architectural Foundation of
San Francisco is a nonprofit educational
organization that involves San Francisco elementary and secondary students
in a mentored appreciation of architecture, engineering, construction
and the design process. San Francisco reigns as one of the most architecturally
significant and beautiful cities in the world. The environment of architectural
diversity is extremely important to the vitality of this great city.
Everywhere, the vibrant and complex layering of landscape, color, cultures
and light produces experiences that unexpectedly reveal themselves.
It is a rich laboratory to be shared as a great learning environment.
Our
mission is to educate emerging generations of San Franciscans towards
an increased awareness of the impact architecture and design have on
their built environment. This will, in turn, enhance the quality of life
and
future viability of our magnificent City of San Francisco. We seek to
share with children the passion and pride that those who shape the physical
environment have for San Francisco.
 Since
its inception in 1990, the Architectural Foundation
of San Francisco has endeavored to reach out to the
general public to establish an open dialog on the
architectural future of this community.
During the past five years, AFSF
has sharpened its focus with the goal of supporting
elementary and secondary students to observe, understand,
and be active in shaping the built environment in
which they live. The AFSF's programs help children,
and their teachers and parents, learn through the
power of architecture and the design process. Central
to our success is active collaboration, involving
members of the community in meaningful and sustainable
interactions with students. |
