There are now three finalists for creating a cultural institution on one of the most beautiful stretches of parkland in the country, at mid-Crissy Field in the Presidio. Which do you favor? A museum devoted to “Star Wars” creator George Lucas’ art collection? An institute focused on sustainability and exploring the social, environmental and economic issues of our time? Or a cultural center with constantly changing programming including the history of the Presidio? We talk with a representative from each proposal pitching their plan.

Guests:

David Perry, spokesperson for the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum

Jeff Warner, architect and founding partner with WRNS Studio

Greg Moore, president and CEO of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy

John King, urban design critic, San Francisco Chronicle
