Spring 2014, ARCH 100D — René Davids

The Museum of Bay Area Figurative Art will consist of six pavilions dedicated to individual Bay Area figurative artists located at sites along a segment of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail in the Presidio of San Francisco. Students were required to design one pavilion in detail and a site plan which includes a sequential layout for all six. The concept of visits to the Presdio structured by episodic art works has been successfully tested by sculptor Andy Goldsworthy, whose three installations set in different areas of the park celebrate the Presidio’s reforestation projects while exploring visitors’ interactive relationships with the park’s natural environment and ecosystems, allowing them to experience the familiar in a new way.
