EMBARCADERO — It's Design Week! The San Francisco chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design, is hosting studio tours tomorrow night from 6 to 9 pm, gathering design professionals in a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of influential Bay Area design studios. See projects in progress and celebrate San Francisco design. There are two routes for Tuesday: Embarcadero - Financial District and South of Market - China Basin. The studios are in walking distance from each other along the routes so plan well and see both. RSVP on Eventbrite to reserve your spot. [The Bold Italic]
