I just realized Fougeron Architecture is working on this with Rem Koolhaas and with SOM on Block 9 next door.
|
the rendering and King's impressions are encouraging!

Those renderings are like a soft focus camera on an old actress- can't see the details. But I'm excited. I love the architect's work. I'm also pleased to read that Meier's Van Ness & Market tower is still moving forward.
|
I'm sure the details, much as with sculpture, will be fine-tuned later, but I really like the start!
|
Well, it's certainly an intriguing look!
|
Shwanky.
|
Love the design. Congrats San Fran. I look forward to seeing the Transbay area completely built out.
|
It's like Nouvel's tower in Barcelona had sex with 101 California.
Pretty interesting looking. |
Color me inspired.
|
I don't have an image account, so someone else please post, but we have some new detailed images of Block 8!!

I'm a big fan of the little alleys that are incorporated into a lot of these new SOMA projects. They're a great way to make a high-rise, large-block district feel more human-scale.
Reminds me of the best aspects of Yaletown, Vancouver. |

So how high do we think the crown looks? 550 feet + ???
|
Nice tower, I'm like this! Another great addition to the Transbay region! :)
|
Don't know about you guys, but I'm seriously blown away by these! This is the building I was meant to live in, or at least squat in when it's eventually abandoned...
