The 40th Annual Architectural Design

April 25-26, 2009

Each year the Architectural Foundation of San Francisco sponsors a design competition for high school students. Now in its 40th year, many of the winners of this competition have gone on to successful careers as architects, design professionals or engineers.

This year, Autodesk Corporation sponsored a special award for students who designed their project using Autodesk Revit Architectural Software.
Program: The Center for San Francisco Film Art.

The Competition is open to all high school students from the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.

The Annual High School Design Competition is funded by Gensler.
