Moscone Center

1978

Built on a site then considered the edge of the city, a working class residential and industrial neighborhood, the Moscone Center is now located in the geographic and cultural center of San Francisco. I was working with the idea of future ruins, or archaeology in reverse, investigating construction as process and as metaphor for change.
