Presidio Habitats
"The FOR-SITE Foundation in partnership with the Presidio Trust is presenting Presidio Habitats, a site-based exhibition created for the Presidio of San Francisco, a 1,491-acre National Historic Landmark and national park site. Presidio Habitats is the first site-based exhibition to be organized for, and presented in, a U.S. national park. The project had its conceptual launch in mid-2009 when the FOR-SITE Foundation invited an international group of artists, architects, and design specialists to submit a habitat proposal for a specific animal resident of the Presidio. From the 25 submissions, eleven were selected as commission projects to be fabricated and installed in the Presidio. The projects are situated in the northwestern corner of the park with dramatic views of the Golden Gate." More HERE....
