Our October tour was so popular that we are doing a rerun! We are still keeping group sizes small, so reserve your ticket soon.
We'll explore the theme of Travel & Leisure by visiting the Streamline Moderne Aquatic Park Bathhouse, Fontana Towers, Ghirardelli Square, and the Cannery. A neighborhood that many local residents may pass over assuming it is just for tourists, the North Waterfront has an important history of Modern architecture and urbanism that shaped the future of the city. This tour is a chance to explore some fantastic Modern architecture and very interesting adaptive reuse projects by top tier Modernist architects, landscape architects, and graphic designers including Wurster, Bernardi & Emmons, Lawrence Halprin, Ruth Asawa, Bobbie Stauffacher Solomon, Joseph Esherick, Thomas Church, and Marget Larsen.
Tickets are limited in order to keep the group smaller.
The tour will primarily be outdoors. However, we will be entering the Maritime Museum for a brief period and masks will be required indoors.
