Design Forum, Past & Pending

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Design Forum II was held on July 8th, at Vehicle SF on 6th Street.   The general perception was that the overall massing and design direction of the project were fine, contingent upon successful design of a dynamic, pedestrian oriented experience at the streetscape.  A summary of the comments are available here.

Project Sponsor will be hosting an upcoming forum on August 5th, 6:00pm, at 260 5th Street (Live Nation Building).  This forum will seek to drill down on design and programming at the streetscape.  Members of the community with experience as a commercial tenant or landlord are strongly encouraged to attend.

We look forward to seeing you there.

San Francisco State Students Dig Deep Into 6th Street

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

A group of students from San Francisco State recently completed a sprawling survey of the sights, sounds and ties that bind 6th street, and its surrounding area, into one of San Francisco’s most eclectic neighborhoods.  Based on our community feedback, we’ve come to understand our project’s location as uniquely transitional, lying between the light industrial history of West Soma, and the arts, expositions, and density of the Yerba Buena neighborhood. The study’s use of the word “intermezzo” to describe the area, which is defined as a short dramatic, musical, or other entertainment of light character, introduced between the acts of a drama or opera, may ultimately be a more poetic way of capturing this area’s transitional nature than we ever could have imagined.  Definitely deserving of an ‘A’ in our books!
