CCA / AIASF ©2009

The exhibit, presented by the American Institute of Architects, San Francisco chapter (AIA San Francisco) in partnership with California College of the Arts (CCA Architecture/URBANlab), and with additional support from HOK and Matarozzi/Pelsinger Builders, will be on view from April 17 - May 15, 2009.

10x10 Cities: Green Facts, Challenges, Futures addresses sustainability challenges facing 10 major North American AIA convention host cities, including San Francisco. Working with data on topics ranging from density, availability of green space, transit use, water use, energy consumption and waste generation to carbon footprint, quality of life and climate action plans, students from California College of the Arts (CCA) created a datascape ranking the ten cities which include Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Miami, New Orleans, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, Toronto and Washington DC. Built and imagined projects from the 10 cities will be showcased. As well, work by CCA students, which addresses San Francisco's climate action plan by proposing future courses of action, will be on view at the exhibit, and for the duration of the exhibit, at transit bus shelters around town.

The exhibition is one of the cornerstone events taking place during the 2009 AIA National Convention.
