WHAT YESTERDAY'S BUILDINGS SAY ABOUT TODAY'S SAN FRANCISCO

Speaker: John King, SF Chronicle

Despite all the cranes and the construction, San Francisco's landscape is still defined by the hills, the Bay -- and the buildings that have been around us for decades or longer, changing with the city even when they look the same. Join the Chronicle's urban design critic for a provocative look at how the old buildings reflect the new city, and what might lie ahead.
