The Wind Harp is located on the Point San Bruno knoll at the center of the Genentech campus on the east side of South San Francisco, formerly the Cabot, Cabot and Forbes Industrial Park.
The prominent 92-foot-tall steel sculpture is open to the public and accessed on foot by a short pathway next to Building 28 on DNA Way. Visit on windy days and the aeolian harp’s hum can be heard clearly.
The wind harp was created in 1967 by Aristides Demetrios and his then wife, Lucia, daughter of famed industrial designer Charles Eames. Originally called the Cabot, Cabot and Forbes Tower, it was commissioned as a centerpiece for its namesake business park. It was acquired by the City of South San Francisco in 1996 and rededicated in 1997.
