As part of Wayne Place's Tall Building studio we headed to San Francisco for an excellent introduction and lecture series with  Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM).
The trip proved to be an invaluable exposure to SOM's philosophy and capability and  a great beginning to a semester long collaborative effort.
