Re-imagining San Francisco's Pier 70 Building 12 Through the Lens of Environmental, Historical, and Social Challenges

Started Nov. 3, 2023

Abstract or project description

This project is a design proposal of San Francisco's Pier 70 Building 12, a historic site on the waterfront that has long been eyed for redevelopment. This proposal includes in-depth research on local context, community sentiment, historical relevance, sustainable green building practices, and social needs of San Francisco and the Bay Area, and connects them to a design that is appropriate and relevant to Pier 70. Building 12 is currently being developed by the Port of SF and Brookfield Properties, and their plans will be considered alongside other design proposals in order to make the design responsive and part of the conversation surrounding this site. The paper resembles a written research report with a significant visual component, including 3 plan diagrams and an interior view render of the proposed design.
