San Francisco Chronicle Urban Design Critic John King moderates this conversation with Architect Cathy Simon, FAIA, about her new book “Occupation: Boundary: Art, Architecture, and Culture at the Water” which examines the social, political, and cultural factors that have and continue to influence the evolution of the urban waterfront as seen through production created from art and design practices.
Reaching beyond the disciplines of architecture and urban design, Occupation: Boundary distills the dual roles art and culture have played in relation to the urban waterfront, as mediums that have recorded and instigated change at the threshold between the city and the sea. At the moment in time that demands innovative approaches to the transformation of urban waterfronts, and strategies to foster of resilient boundaries, architect Cathy Simon recounts her career building at and around the water’s edge and in service of the public realm.
