Explore Modern Chinatown

Docomomo US Tour Day celebrated Diversity in Modernism to highlight the contributions of female and underrepresented architects, landscape architects, designers, and artists to the modern movement. Like many professions, the field of architecture is primarily dominated by white male architects, and their legacies are entered into the canon. San Francisco’s Chinatown is a great place to explore the work of architects and designers of Chinese descent because it is not only the birthplace of San Francisco but also where modern architecture exists if you know where to look.
