Fougeron Architecture
  Anne Fougeron was raised in Paris, France and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1977 to pursue her Masters degree in Architecture at the University of California Berkeley. In 1986, Anne founded Fougeron Architecture on the premise that designing great architectural projects and providing more human and personal service were not mutually exclusive goals. Ms. Fougeron has taught architectural design to graduate and undergraduate students at U.C. Berkeley and at California College of the Arts in San Francisco.
Ted Smith
  Smith and Others Architects is an alternative practice founded in 1973. Principals Ted Smith and Kathleen McCormick who joined in 1981 have completed a wide range of unusual housing projects acting as developers, architects, and contractors. These projects include, the Upas street houses where three single-family houses in a downtown infill site were offered for sale without interior partitioning, allowing the buyers rather than the developers to determine the layout. In Del Mar, the company built six loft houses in a string of buildings over a six year period, separating the commercial and residential zones Each house, called a GoHome, contains six affordable suites and provides some of San Diego's most affordable ownership and rents. In 1989, the firm developed downtown San Diego's first row houses on Cortez Hill. The project, the Richman-Poorman Building mixes market rate affordable "GoHomes", with luxury town houses. In 1997 the firm developed Little Italy's first new housing in 25 years as a member of a team of architects and developers who divided the status quo full block development into small parcels. The project, an RFP for a housing demonstration block sponsored by the Centre City Development Corporation, combines row houses, subsidized family housing and market rate affordable lofts, surrounding an open space in the block center. Recently the firm, in association with Lloyd Russell, completed Essex Lofts an apartment building that proposes an alternate strategy for middle density housing eliminating underground garages and interior hallways, by parking on the roof. A similar scheme by the firm, recently won a Livable Places design competition sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts in Long Beach California to develop housing at a transit node. Smith and Others is currently planning a rejuvenation project in Barrio Logan, near Chicano Park below the Coronado Bridge, where nine architects have purchases individual lots in a coordinated effort to demonstrate the merits of small-scale infill development. Last year Woodbury University initiated a new graduate program directed by Smith and co director Jonathan Segal to teach development strategies to architects.
