34th America's Cup in SF
July 25, 2012
San Francisco will be hosting the 34th America’s Cup yacht race with an epic new amphitheater set on the bay. Proposed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Architects, the proposal suggests the transformation of dilapidated piers 30-32 at the foot of Bryant Street and Pier 50 south of the ballpark into a striking bay front amphitheater and sailing showplace., In addition to renovating this part of the city, the project boasts an array of sustainable design features such as rainwater harvesting and a huge sail-like canopy covered in solar cells, making it the most environmentally friendly race on record.
Here are a few images of the amazing renderings by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Architecs:
