Participation will converse\, meet\, discuss idea\, and meet the designers and architects. \nAbout the Studios\nAIDLIN DARLING DESIGN:   \nIn 1998\, co-founders Joshua Aidlin and David Darling began the studio crafting furniture together in a San Francisco woodshop. Today\, this passion for shared making anchors the studio’s collaborative process. The approach to each project is client and site specific\, and includes open communication among clients\, consultants\, fabricators\, and builders to achieve innovative\, unexpected results. \nADD pursues an architecture of restraint that engages the senses\, connecting us to place and to ourselves. In a world that is increasingly dominated by the visual and virtual\, the firm sees design as a multisensory experience\, one in which the way something feels\, smells and sounds is as important as how it looks.  \nExploring how the studio’s work moves beyond the visual\, Braden King’s film Aidlin Darling Design: Architecture for the Senses\, captures the firm’s ethos and commitment to creating soulful environments. \nODADA design studio: \nFounded in 1987 by Orlando Diaz-Azcuy\, ODADA is an internationally recognized commercial and residential interior design firm. In 1990\, David Todd Oldroyd and Greg Stewart became principals\, with recent additions to the leadership team. Together they extend the firm’s strong architectural and design foundation\, bringing a clean\, focused approach to contemporary and traditional projects.  The firm has a staff of 20 architects and designers to assure highly personalized attention to each client. The company currently works on projects around the world\, including decades-long clients in London\, San Francisco and Honolulu. \nBCJ architects\, ending with a reception. \nBOHLIN CYWINSKI JACKSON: Founded in 1965\, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is an architecture practice with studios in Wilkes-Barre\, Pittsburgh\, Philadelphia\, Seattle\, San Francisco\, and New York. We work with our clients to understand the nature of their unique circumstance—the people\, place\, and materials that inform each design—to help translate collective aspirations into built environments that are greater than the sum of their parts. The resulting architecture feels simultaneously grounded and transcendent\, carefully crafted to embody resiliency\, and adapt to an ever-changing world. Our work has received more than 800 regional\, national\, and international awards for design\, including four American Institute of Architects (AIA) COTE Top Ten Awards \n  \nAbout Diane Dorrans Saeks:\nLearn more about Diane Dorrans Saeks on Instagram @dianedorranssaeks \nDiane is the best-selling author of 25 design books\, including ‘Michael S\, Smith Elements of Style’ (Rizzoli) and her two most recent\, “Jean-Louis Deniot Interiors’ (Rizzoli) and ‘Parisian by Design (Rizzoli).

Christie’s project could be categorized as useless – there was no client\, no publisher\, no commissioning editor; she did this project for no other reason than that she wanted to. \nDuring the summer of 2020\, inspired by ideas about attention in Jenny’s book\, Christie began making hand-drawn illustrations\, watercolors\, and collages as a creative response and a means to develop her own practice of attention. What began for her as a “book report” turned into a body of artwork\, an exhibition\, an event series and\, more recently\, a group project. \nThis talk will ask each of us: what is worth paying attention to? Christie will mount a defense of your most useless projects – the work that is hard to categorize\, commodify\, or sell – and challenge you to honor and follow your own creative attention. \nSpeakers: \nChristie George\,  Investor/Producer \n  \n  URL:https://sfdesignweek.org/event/the-emergency-was-curiosity/ LOCATION:FourOneNine\, 419 10th Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94103\, United States CATEGORIES:Business of Design,Design + Books,Design Culture,Women in Design ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sfdesignweek.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/The-Emergency-Was-Curiosity-Exhibition-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240604T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240604T110000 DTSTAMP:20260607T212229 CREATED:20240529T181536Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240531T175629Z UID:10000361-1717495200-1717498800@sfdesignweek.org SUMMARY:Innovations in Immersive Reality Experiences DESCRIPTION:On June 4\, 2024\, the designers and artists of the Captivate Exhibition will have presentations and conversations about their work in person at 10:00am in the Four One Nine library and outdoor garden area upstairs. \nThe subject matter of attention is on our minds–how it’s limited\, the new oil\, too short\, precious–the list goes on and on.

Our approach to regenerative design is holistic\, derived from a system-wide perspective that uncovers new solutions through knowledge-sharing across industries and distinct expertise. Instead of asking how we can do “less bad\,” we ask how we can do “the most good”. To that end\, we begin with the end –– to fully understand what the next life of each product\, material\, or space we design could become. Because we expect an afterlife that gives equal weight to design and its regeneration. \nIn this conversation\, we will talk through our methodologies\, some common hurdles that exist that get in the way of building responsible products\, and how we approach pushing past them. \nLauryn Menard + Baillie\, Co-Founders \n  \nEvent hosted by DesignBayArea URL:https://sfdesignweek.org/event/begin-with-the-end/ LOCATION:FourOneNine\, 419 10th Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94103\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sfdesignweek.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screenshot-2024-05-22-at-4.23.49-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240604T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240604T133000 DTSTAMP:20260607T212229 CREATED:20240521T232045Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240531T021004Z UID:10000349-1717504200-1717507800@sfdesignweek.org SUMMARY:Let’s Make Book Reports! A Zine-Making Workshop DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Christie George’s book report The Emergency Was Curiosity\, we’re going to make our own. Bring a beloved book or find inspiration in one of the books in the Four One Nine Library. It doesn’t have to be your favorite book\, just a book you’d like to remember. \nWe all have things that we’re paying attention to\, that we’d like to remember and that we’d like to share with others. A book report is a way to focus your attention on what you most loved about a book and how you felt when you read it. We’ll talk about book reports as a way to practice paying deep attention and learn how to make a simple zine from a single sheet of paper! \nChristie will be joined by designer Julie Tinker from Hope Lab who collaborated with her to make a DIY book report station at the enchanting Clio’s Bookstore in Oakland. \nWhat to bring: Bring a book you’d like to remember. We’ll provide the rest of the materials. \nNOTE: This event requires climbing 2 flights of stairs to attend.

SFSU Explores Strategies for Shifting to Sustainable Design Practices DESCRIPTION:This fall\, San Francisco State University School of Design will launch the first materials library on the West Coast dedicated solely to sustainable materials: the SFSU Sustainable Materials Learning Library. SFSU Students and faculty in design have spent the last two years collecting physical material samples from groundbreaking sustainable materials innovators in countries as far flung as Australia\, New Zealand\, the Netherlands\, and Germany.  The sustainable materials in the library now include “leathers” made from cactus\, kombucha\, mushrooms\, and pythons\, concrete from hemp\, band-aids from bamboo\, and even sustainable bio-glitter! \nIn this conversation\, SFSU Professor Fernando Carvalho and students Cole Galvin and Maria Nguyen discuss persuasive design strategies for creators\, product designers\, and architects—like developing products from biomaterials or offering a resource such as the SFSU Materials Learning Library\, as well as a current effort underway to compel education on sustainable building materials for all new building construction in collaboration with the University of California\, San Francisco and the City of San Francisco. In this conversation we will discuss strategies of both persuasion and regulation in hopes of compelling the creative community to make the critical shift to more sustainable design products and practices. \n  \nNOTE: This event requires climbing 2 flights of stairs to attend.

For decades\, AI characters have proliferated in film\, television\, literature\, and other forms of popular media. These AI characters are not always evil or malicious\, but their interactions with humans could often be improved. They could benefit from a re-design. \nTogether\, we will imagine and re-design ethical Generative AI experiences by exploring the interactions of the most notorious AI characters. Working in teams\, participants will transform less-than-pleasant interactions with AI movie characters into user-friendly experiences. Each team will not only re-design each character\, they will improve the overall interaction experience with that character. Each team will then present a prototype (visual\, interactive\, storyboard\, performance\, etc) to demonstrate their results. \nThe best character re-design\, wins!

By building relationships with property owners the program is able to provide artists with free space to imagine and create public facing activations. Through these relationships the program has helped actualize visions for the future of retail footprints. This approach comes from the programs belief that vacancy is an opportunity to critically rethink what public spaces do for people and work toward a San Francisco that is overflowing with energy and life. \nThe programs latest collaboration has given purpose to a vacant storefront turning it into an atelier and showroom for the sculptor Lynette Nicole Betancur. Over the past six months Lynette has reimagined the empty space into a platform for collaboration with other designers & artists\, a venue for the sale of her sculptures\, and a site of beauty for neighbors. Going forward\, [working] is continuing to learn and adapt how it can support educational and cultural goals\, and is seeking builders\, developers\, and planners looking to invest in large-scale\, thriving environments designed for people. \nWe invite you to join us at Lynette’s atelier for an open house and to learn more about the history of [working]\, the programs future ambitions\, and how you can help us work toward a positive and healthy future for San Francisco.

He is driven by the possibilities of materiality\, an insatiable curiosity\, and an undisputed reverence for the pressures of the creative process. At The Future Perfect’s Pacific Height’s gallery\, see a range of his works\, including furniture\, glass works\, and more. \nSchedule: \n\nExhibition Gallery Open 10am-6pm\, stop by any time to see the exhibit Monday-Friday.\nOpening Celebration Event 6pm-8pm\n\nThe Future perfect will be serving Las Jaras wine for  the opening celebration. \nThis event celebrates the exhibition opening; however\, attendees are also encouraged to visit the Gallery\, open from 10 am – 6pm\,  Monday through Friday. \nRafi Ajl (b.1983) is a Berkeley\, California-based artist who is obsessed with form and process. He is driven by the possibilities of materiality\, an insatiable curiosity\, and an undisputed reverence for the pressures of the creative process. \nAjl’s approach is also deeply rooted in post-structuralist critical theory\, which emphasizes that the process is never terminal but boundless and full of play. \nAjl studied literature and critical theory at Hampshire College\, where he gained a foundation in post-structuralist critical theory\, the Situationists\, a prominent group of European intellectuals and avant-garde artists\, and the German philosopher Walter Benjamin. \nBorn and raised in Brooklyn\, New York\, Ajl grew up in a deeply artistic home where making things was a way of life. He can scarcely recall a time when he wasn’t building and taking things apart\, and cites his quilter mother\, who taught him how to sew and about color\, as an early influence. His house was an assemblage of folk art\, antique furniture\, and quilts\, where brightly colored walls contrasted with parquet floors and neo-Victorian details. In 2012\, Ajl graduated from the California College of the Arts with an MFA in Design.

Iris believes the future of design should poetically bridge the digital world with the physical\, to create a world where bits and atoms are interwoven\, where technology is used to connect rather than isolate\, inspire rather than distract\, nourish rather than exhaust people. \nThe lecture will feature 3 of Iris’ independent design works\, including\n1) Love Cassette\, the first-of-its-kind sound interactive installation that can turn one’s love message into a postcard on the spot\, to date\, Love Cassette has been visited by over 1 million participants around the world.\n2)Heat Chair\, an innovative computational design and fabrication system that can turn human ergonomics data into the robotic heating path\, to manufacture a chair that is completely responsive to human ergonomics.\n3) a series of XR interactive projects that break the boundary between the digital and physical world. \nThe audience will learn from the lecture: \n1) The future is physical. From an experience level\, Iris is advocating for hybrid and holistic experience design where the experience itself involves multiple senses and bridges the digital world with the physical.\n2) From a human level\, our products and experiences need to be personalizable\, anticipatory\, and adaptable to human needs and various human states. And luckily\, now these designs are made possible with advanced AI technology.\n3) From an environment and system level\, the future of design needs to be programmable. (Material\, Algorithm\, Fabrication. etc.) \nThese trends are also made possible because of the most recent advanced manufacturing techniques (e.g. nano-scale 3D printing\, bio-programmable material\, etc.) URL:https://sfdesignweek.org/event/the-future-is-physital-designs-that-bridge-the-physical-and-digital-world-enabled-by-xr-ai-and-other-emerging-tech/ LOCATION:Studio Heimat\, 455 10th St\, San Francisco\, CA\, CA 94103\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sfdesignweek.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Poster_SFDesignWeek_Talk_new-1-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Iris Pan":MAILTO:irisxpan@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240608T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240608T190000 DTSTAMP:20260607T212229 CREATED:20240429T170419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240606T162841Z UID:10000243-1717867800-1717873200@sfdesignweek.org SUMMARY:Surface Design Vase Painting with Holly Coley DESCRIPTION:Join local artist and designer Holly Coley for bud vase painting and wine tasting. \nEnjoy painting your favorite color pallet on a handmade bud vase by Holly Coley.

How do we experience it? Are we using it wisely? The technological advancements of the digital age enable us to keep our calendars full and our lives productive as ever\, but at what cost? \n\nThe ancient Greeks had two concepts of time. Chronos is quantitative time\, measured in years\, months\, weeks\, days\, hours\, minutes\, seconds. Kairos\, is qualitative time or also known as “Deep Time”\, an experience where our perception of Chronos stops or disappears\, and we’re able to be truly present. \nThis event will invite you to examine and explore how these two concepts play out\, and consider how we may cultivate greater mindfulness and deeper experiences in our daily lives and design practices. \nBrought to you by:\nPact Studio – Creating meaningful\, unmistakable brands.\nExistential Co. – Storyteller exploring life\, death\, and meaning.\nDavid Bill – Service Designer and UX’er interested in history\, systems thinking\, human behavior\, and the role of technology.

Vision boarding is an inspiring creative tool for focusing one’s attention on a better\, more intentional future — a major part of both SFDW’s and WILD’s reasons for being. When we give our hopes\, dreams\, and wishes form — whether we put them in words by writing them down\, or make them tangible through visual design — they are more likely to become a reality. So we will gather\, with magazines and collage materials\, to bring our unique visions for creating a better world and daily life\, together.  \nWe will provide thematic creative prompts ahead of the session\, such as ‘How do you want to show up bold?’ to guide all participants in selecting powerful images to work with\, that uplift and elevate our mission and purpose. Participants are encouraged to bring their own inspirational materials\, adding a personal touch to their vision boards and enhancing the collective creativity of our WILD community. We are excited to ignite change through art and design. As this year’s ‘Attention’ theme suggests\, we seek to bring together a global and intersectional community of designers\, strategists\, artists\, and activists to focus on connections yet to be made. Learn more about WILD here. \nAgenda: \n\n3:30-3:45: Gathering and mingling\n3:45-4:00: Brief introductions and intentions.\n4:00-5:15: Vision boarding; 5 minute break moments will happen throughout the creation session to share ideas\, works in progress\, and reflections.\n5:15-5:45: Share vision boards with one another\n5:45-6:00: Wrap up & goodbyes\n\nThis WILD Jam session will be held at The Box SF\, the former ‘William Randolph Hearst Printing Plant’ and one of San Francisco’s premier event spaces.
