DETAILS: 
At the heart of the City, Powell Street represents the essence of San Francisco, making it a central hub, a destination, and a nexus of urban life. For some, it is the path to work; for others, it is the entry point to theaters, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife. It is also a starting point for connecting with the city’s rich history, stunning topography, panoramic vistas, and vibrant waterfront. For all it’s the gateway to San Francisco.  Early this year, the Union Square Alliance selected Field Operations and Sitelab Urban Studio to produce a beautiful, durable, and cost-effective design that will help restore Powell Street to the iconic status it deserves.  After several months of design exploration and collaboration with Union Square stakeholders, it is time to unveil the design concepts.
