Each year the Architectural Foundation of San Francisco sponsors a design competition for high school students. Now in its 39th year, many of the winners of this competition have gone on to successful careers as architects, design professionals or engineers.

This year, we will collaborate with the San Francisco Ferry Building, the location for the Competition and the Awards Ceremony.

Program: The Bay Area Center for Sustainable Agriculture

The Competition is open to all high school students from San Francisco and Marin counties.

The Annual High School Design Competition is funded by Gensler.
