SUMMARY:Attending to Intuition
DESCRIPTION:An interactive workshop helping creatives hear\, recognize\, strengthen and pay attention to their intuition with Four One Nine founder and creative consultant and coach\, Sonya Yu. \nOur inner voices are constantly begging for our attention. In the face of strong (and not always accurate) emotions like fear\, anxiety\, excitement\, and even joy\, how do we notice and recognize our intuitive voice\, allowing it to guide us to authentic\, aligned decision-making? \nIn this hour-long workshop\, Sonya will help participants articulate these inner voices and feelings\, work through real-life situations they’re encountering\, and ultimately answer the questions: What does authentic intuition sound like and how do I learn to trust it? \n\nNOTE: This event requires climbing 2 flights of stairs to attend. There is no elevator or lift available. \n  \nABOUT SONYA:\n \nSonya Yu is the founder and visionary behind Four One Nine\, a thriving creative ecosystem that is dedicated to fostering culture and supporting artists. As a creative coach and consultant\, she frequently speaks at arts and educational institutions on protecting and expressing one’s ingenuity. \n  \nNamed one of ArtNews’ Top 200 Collectors of 2023 and one of Cultured Magazine’s 2023 Young Collectors\, Sonya currently serves on the nonprofit boards of SFMOMA\, The Hammer Museum and is an active member of the Dia Leadership Committee.

SUMMARY:The Emergency Was Curiosity: In Defense of Useless Projects
DESCRIPTION:A talk and Q&A with investor and producer Christie George about The Emergency Was Curiosity\, an illustrated book report inspired by Jenny Odell’s How to Do Nothing. Christie’s project could be categorized as useless – there was no client\, no publisher\, no commissioning editor; she did this project for no other reason than that she wanted to. \nDuring the summer of 2020\, inspired by ideas about attention in Jenny’s book\, Christie began making hand-drawn illustrations\, watercolors\, and collages as a creative response and a means to develop her own practice of attention. What began for her as a “book report” turned into a body of artwork\, an exhibition\, an event series and\, more recently\, a group project. \nThis talk will ask each of us: what is worth paying attention to? Christie will mount a defense of your most useless projects – the work that is hard to categorize\, commodify\, or sell – and challenge you to honor and follow your own creative attention. \nSpeakers: \nChristie George\,  Investor/Producer \n  \n

SUMMARY:(REGISTRATION ENDS FRIDAY 5/31) Beyond the Sparkles: Tips on building a “boring” product equity practice with Adobe
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION ENDS FRIDAY 5/31 so we can send the list to security at Adobe! \nDeveloping a product equity and inclusion practice is often an effort that attracts many passionate volunteers\, yet few people who can dedicate themselves full-time to the work.

The session will include small group discussions\, where attendees will be invited to reflect on learnings with those around them. \n\nDoors at 4pm\nPresentation from 4:15-4:45\nMixer 4:45-5:15\nWant to add on the Adobe Create Now event starting at 5:30pm?

SUMMARY:Dynamic Minds: Creative Brilliance Seminar Series |  Studio visits to Aidlin Darling Design\, ODADA and  Bohlin Cywinski Jackson [BCJ]
DESCRIPTION:This tour includes studio visits to Aidlin Darling Design\, ODADA and  BCJ. 5pm Reception. Participation will converse\, meet\, discuss idea\, and meet the designers and architects. \nAbout the Studios\nAIDLIN DARLING DESIGN:   \nIn 1998\, co-founders Joshua Aidlin and David Darling began the studio crafting furniture together in a San Francisco woodshop. Today\, this passion for shared making anchors the studio’s collaborative process. The approach to each project is client and site specific\, and includes open communication among clients\, consultants\, fabricators\, and builders to achieve innovative\, unexpected results. \nADD pursues an architecture of restraint that engages the senses\, connecting us to place and to ourselves. In a world that is increasingly dominated by the visual and virtual\, the firm sees design as a multisensory experience\, one in which the way something feels\, smells and sounds is as important as how it looks.  \nExploring how the studio’s work moves beyond the visual\, Braden King’s film Aidlin Darling Design: Architecture for the Senses\, captures the firm’s ethos and commitment to creating soulful environments. \nODADA design studio: \nFounded in 1987 by Orlando Diaz-Azcuy\, ODADA is an internationally recognized commercial and residential interior design firm. In 1990\, David Todd Oldroyd and Greg Stewart became principals\, with recent additions to the leadership team. Together they extend the firm’s strong architectural and design foundation\, bringing a clean\, focused approach to contemporary and traditional projects.  The firm has a staff of 20 architects and designers to assure highly personalized attention to each client. The company currently works on projects around the world\, including decades-long clients in London\, San Francisco and Honolulu. \nBCJ architects\, ending with a reception. \nBOHLIN CYWINSKI JACKSON: Founded in 1965\, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is an architecture practice with studios in Wilkes-Barre\, Pittsburgh\, Philadelphia\, Seattle\, San Francisco\, and New York. We work with our clients to understand the nature of their unique circumstance—the people\, place\, and materials that inform each design—to help translate collective aspirations into built environments that are greater than the sum of their parts. The resulting architecture feels simultaneously grounded and transcendent\, carefully crafted to embody resiliency\, and adapt to an ever-changing world. Our work has received more than 800 regional\, national\, and international awards for design\, including four American Institute of Architects (AIA) COTE Top Ten Awards \n  \nAbout Diane Dorrans Saeks:\nLearn more about Diane Dorrans Saeks on Instagram @dianedorranssaeks \nDiane is the best-selling author of 25 design books\, including ‘Michael S\, Smith Elements of Style’ (Rizzoli) and her two most recent\, “Jean-Louis Deniot Interiors’ (Rizzoli) and ‘Parisian by Design (Rizzoli).

SUMMARY:Biofabrication Workshop: Grow a Mycelium Object with 10th Floor Studio
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve been curious about biofabrication or biomaterials\, this workshop is for you. \nGrow fungi into an object for your home. Here at 10th Floor Studio\, we firmly believe that fungi can help us transition away from synthetic petroleum products and towards futures where humans coexist as a part of the natural world. We’ve been working with fungi for the last 5 years and are excited to offer a workshop to introduce you to these incredible organisms! Fungi exist in many forms\, in this session we’ll be using the oft-unseen underground body of the fungi\, called mycelium\, to grow a bud vase for your home. This 2.5-hour workshop will begin with a brief intro to growing objects out of fungi and our work at 10th Floor Studio. You’ll learn the basics about choosing a suitable species of fungi\, how to avoid contamination\, and how to create an object using a mold form. We’ll walk you through designing and assembling your customized bud vase mold. Then it’s time to break up the mycelium\, pack it in the mold\, and let it grow! \nNote: You’ll take home your bud vase still in the mold. It will need 2 weeks for the mycelium to grow out and firm up. It will not need any attention while it grows. After 2 weeks you’ll dry it out and halt any further growth. Don’t worry\, we’ll give you instructions on what to do once you leave the workshop 🙂 \n**DETAILS:** \n– Try biofabrication yourself and take home your mycelium bud vase\n– Cost: $120\n– Limited to 20 people

Today\, this history of craft and passion for shared making anchors its collaborative process. The firm’s approach to each project is client and site specific\, and includes open communication among clients\, consultants\, fabricators\, and builders. \nAt Aidlin Darling Design\, the firm thinks of design as a sensory art\, one where the way a space feels is as important as how it looks. As a multidisciplinary firm\, this ethos is its guiding principle across projects of any scale\, use\, or purpose. \nThe firm recently collaborated with director Braden King on a film that explores how its studio’s work moves beyond just the visual to engage all of the senses. The result\, Aidlin Darling Design: Architecture for the Senses\, captures the firm’s ethos and commitment to creating soulful environments. \nBAMO \nFor thirty years\, BAMO has created captivating environments that flow\, function\, and make people feel welcome\, at ease\, and inspired to live — and to dream — more fully. A collective of designers\, the firm brings to each project a richness of experience and perspective\, along with an impassioned view of life and our work. \nThe firm engages clients graciously\, listening for the unspoken needs beneath their stated desires. Speaking to the psyche through the senses\, and building in layers of meaning\, the firm creates true havens: places apart from the everyday. Its interpretive skill is matched by the rigor\, expertise\, and ingenuity the firm brings to seeing projects through to completion. This is why hospitality\, residential\, and corporate clients around the world trust BAMO to bring their visions to life.

SUMMARY:Steep Urbanists Tour directed by Lina Bondarenko
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a participatory movement experience in architecture and perspective over Telegraph Hill.\nThis tour positions urban design as a collaboration with the earth’s geography.  \nThe plan of San Francisco drapes a city grid over 48 hills. Streets undulate like rollercoasters\, snaking around the land’s contours\, rupturing to reveal concrete walls bisected by vegetated staircases. Architects design horizontal planes to contort and step into vertical terrain. Steep slopes swap roles between the theater’s rake and the elevated stage. The observer is always observed. Distorted perspectives amplify the performance of everyday life through distance. \nSteep Urbanists are invited to dance through the spatial volumes of San Francisco’s sloped streets\, tuned to corresponding musical volumes that trace the synchronicity between a sound wave and an architectural section.  \nSteep Urbanist is a project investigating how human infrastructure responds to the logic of the land directed by Lina Bondarenko– an architect\, dancer\, educator\, and student.

SUMMARY:The Design Language of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to design spaces that evoke belonging? In this workshop\, we’ll investigate what belonging means to us and how it manifests in our physical spaces. Through creating a shared language of “patterns\,” we’ll discover design principles that can be applied across our environments. We’ll collaboratively push the boundaries of our imagination and prototype these envisioned spaces using generative AI.
