desigNarrative presents: Mark Cavagnero, FAIA

The desigNarrative Speaker Series gives local architects, designers and members of the community, who are interested in what drives thoughtful and innovative design, an opportunity to dialogue with noteworthy architects about their inspirational work. Come, participate in the narrative, and be inspired.

First up in the 2021 series is Mark Cavagnero, FAIA of Mark Cavagnero Associates. Mark is a socially and environmentally conscious architect, with significant contributions to the context and quality of civic life. His approach is often modest, in finding the balance between character, form, and richness of materiality.

Recent projects designed with innovative affordable housing components include the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the San Francisco Artist Housing.
