Restaurants of Cass Calder Smith

Architecture and food are both best when experienced first-hand, so what better way is there to celebrate the restaurant designs of CCS Architecture than by joining in on an eating tour with the architect himself? On Thursday, as part of the AIASF's Architecture and the City festival, architect Cass Calder Smith led a group of hungry design enthusiasts from Delica RF-1 to La Mar to The Plant: Cafe Organic.
