Ford Motor Company is partnering with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) San Francisco Chapter for a program called "Design with a Conscience." The luncheon panel, hosted by Ford and AIA San Francisco, features automotive design experts and San Francisco-based architects and innovators who will discuss how societal trends inspire and influence both the architectural and automotive industries.

"As a car designer, our goal is to create a car that has a timeless style and yet operates functionally the way the customer needs it to," said Freeman Thomas, director, Strategic Design, Ford Motor Company, in a statement "A car is more than just a pragmatic choice, and it's the design that makes a difference, creating an emotional connection with the customer."
