VISION

Neighbors, especially missing voices, dreaming and designing the future.

Dreamblock

San Francisco is full of aging, unaffordable housing, and a lot of neighbors with ideas about what to do about it. Dreamblock invites you to get your hands on the city, literally. Working together around a 3-foot physical model of a San Francisco block, participants are invited to reshape, reimagine, and rebuild — dreaming up creative solutions to affordability and sustainability in our built environment. No expertise required, just curiosity and a collaborative spirit.
