Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater Opened in 1993, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts was built by the S.F. Redevelopment Agency using funds from private development in the Yerba Buena Gardens district. The Center's Theater, designed by James Polshek, was inspired by the energy Polshek perceived in S.F.'s performing arts community. The design provides a proscenium theatre inside, and features an exterior of aluminum panels that respond to the subtle and changing qualities of San Francisco light. Polshek's work speaks for an inclusive and humanizing architecture that embodies his belief that "architecture must make a social contribution." Adventurous, interdisciplinary programming in visual and performing arts, film/video, and education makes the Center for the Arts a unique resource for the Bay Area community.
