Now the third one looks positively stunning (the last rendering has me salivating), but I imagine a lot of engineering will go into making that building stand...

I agree with you...the second one is the worst, the first one is better (I actually think it'd work quite well) but it's the third one that makes you sit up and say, "wow, this would be amazing". The ground-level elements for all three of them are impressive to me...if any of them were built as is, we'd go from having the country's worst transit center to the best.
I really hope the museumists don't kill it. The pessimist in me says SF just isn't the kind of town where something like this can get built. The optimist says these plans could inspire this city to rise above its history of letting fringe groups keep it locked in the past.
