INTERSTICE Participates in Construction Workforce Initiative Program (CIWI)

August 27th, 2015  |  by INTERSTICE  |  published in News, San Francisco, Urbanism

This summer, INTERSTICE Architects was proud to participate in the Construction Workforce Initiative (CIWI) Internship program.  INTERSTICE participated in the CIWI program through our role as Landscape Architect on the Transbay Block 1 Project at 160 Folsom Street, being developed by Tishman Speyer and as the architectural team led by Studio Gang Architects.

CIWI is a non-profit initiative which is focused on the expansion of diversity within the Construction, Real Estate Development, Architecture and Engineering, Civic Engagement and Urban Design industries by providing career development opportunities for students interested in these fields.   Visit the CIWI website to learn more about their initiative.

INTERSTICE’s CIWI intern, Alanna Johnson, now entering her sophomore year at San Francisco State University with an interest in marketing and communications, gained valuable insight into the sheer amount of planning and due diligence it requires to get a project built by attending meetings with Transbay project stakeholders including architects, developers, engineers, city agencies, and contractors.   Alanna became integral to our team at IA, providing hands-on support and working side by side with our designers, collaborators, and the client.

“I would say that being able to be partnered with both the CIWI program and INTERSTICE Architects exposed me to a vast amount of opportunities. I no longer place my future outcomes in a box. I’ve learned to let them blossom.”

INTERSTICE Architects Installs the SF SFF / La Cocina Night Market

August 16th, 2013  |  by INTERSTICE  |  published in Architecture, News, Projects, Soft Networks, Uncategorized, Urbanism

INTERSTICE Architects is thrilled to support La Cocina and participate in our 4th annual Street Food Festival!

This year we designed and installed a 300-foot-long sinuous bench, called the INTERSTICE banqu(ette), which meanders down the center of the San Francisco Street Food Festival’s second annual Night Market.

Over 500 pallets were zip-tied together to form an interlocking, modular lounge furnishing  and bar-table kiosks with heat-lamps for people to gather, eat and celebrate the Market.

With 6 different global regions of foods represented, the Night Market is an opportunity for San Franciscans to taste the best the world has to offer, all prepared and sold by local vendors. The benches are color coded by global region and display way-finding signage also by INTERSTICE. Local artists painted the coverings for the seats.

This is the launch party for the San Francisco Street Food Festival, which spans 6 blocks along Folsom Street between 20th and 26th Streets.

Check out the team at work!
