Bureau projects focusing on the urban landscape have included Urban Essence: the Scent of San Francisco, a historic trail re-purposing action entitled Travels with Carlos and Anza: A Brief Explorer’s Guide to a Few Missing Monuments, and Comings & Goings: 2 Backwards Journeys thru Land’s End, a wayfinding and timetravelling audio experience commissioned by Southern Exposure. Most recently, A Lover’s Line thru the Presidio was commissioned by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in conjunction with Bay Area Now 5/Ground Scores. The project received the highest award for media excellence by the Association of Partners for Public Lands and continues to be hosted onsite by the Presidio Trust.
