Modern Architecture Hill Climb: Bicycle Ride

"Join architects & SFBC members David Baker and Robin Levitt and planner Rob Bregoff for a guided ride past some of the city's most spectacular post-earthquake homes. It will look at works by Second Bay Area Tradition architects and contemporaries, including buildings by Richard Neutra, William Wurster, Gardner Dailey, Henry Hill, and Anshen + Allen. Viewing these houses through the focused lens of local architects and planners, our daily city becomes a richer, more revealed place.
