The ReImagined City: San Francisco 2000–2025 is currently on view at the AIA San Francisco Center for Architecture + Design. The exhibition surveys twenty-five years of architectural and urban transformation across San Francisco, examining how the city has responded to economic shifts, environmental pressures, social change, and evolving cultural values. This exhibition is curated by John King, an urban design critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, who has kept a keen eye on the city's built environment for the past three decades.
Bringing together work from architects, designers, and allied disciplines, the exhibition highlights projects that reshape how people live, work, move, and gather. It focuses not only on completed buildings, but also on adaptive reuse, public space, infrastructure, and speculative approaches that reflect the city’s ongoing negotiation between growth, resilience, and identity.
Rather than presenting a single narrative of progress, the exhibition reads as a collective snapshot of a city in flux—revealing tensions between preservation and development, permanence and experimentation, optimism and constraint. Together, the projects form a layered portrait of San Francisco’s built environment at the turn of the twenty-first century.
My contribution to The ReImagined City: San Francisco 2000–2025 reflects both design and documentation. While part of the design team at Heller Manus, I worked on one of the buildings featured in the exhibition. After the project was completed, I returned to photograph the finished structure. These images, included in the exhibition, trace the arc from conceptual design to realized form, highlighting both the design process and the building’s integration into the urban environment.
