San Francisco Plan C
Been very curious this past year about the growth of this city and the development of its architecture. It's such an amazing city but also such a disaster. Homelessness, urban blight, expensive housing, and barely any vision from the politicians.
We used to have our office at 580 California Street -- the building designed by the Pritzker-winning Philip Johnson that is rumored to be only half as tall as he'd designed it according to a friend. Supposedly since it is so hard to get things approved in this city. Thus, the 12 blank statues on the roof are meant to be a snide commentary on the SF Board of Supervisors. Must get the real story on this from one of the new San Francisco books I just picked up at William Stout.
