"A city’s legacy is carved in stone."
Some buildings exist. Others endure.
San Francisco City Hall is one of them. Built in the grand tradition of Beaux-Arts architecture, it was designed to be both elegant and lasting—a symbol of resilience as much as beauty.
In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake put that resilience to the test. Instead of falling, City Hall adapted. Engineers installed a base isolation system, allowing it to move with the earth rather than against it. Strength wasn’t about standing still—it was about knowing how to sway and endure.
For decades, its grand dome, intricate carvings, and marble corridors have drawn people inside—not just for government affairs, but for love stories, protests, and quiet moments of reflection.
Bold, intricate, and timeless—Beaux Arts captures the commanding presence of classical architecture through the grain and depth of 35mm film. The softened contrast and rich textures turn stone into sculpture, light into movement.
