I like the aluminum or steel frames on the building. The photo does not show how nice the frame are because of the sun's angle. There will be a series that go to the top of the structure. It will be a very handsome building! So far I have found no fault to it at all. But I am still mystified as to why most of the new buildings have those narrow push out windows that open at the bottom. How is one to vent smoke & hot air when cooking? They both go to the ceiling & not to the floor. Another problem I see is broken windows. A window that flips out is subject to being broken by an object falling from above.
I was glad to see King talk about the new black in San Francisco in his column in the San Francisco Chronicle. I think he was being too kind when he reserved his comments till the building is clean. Yes, it does look better as the windows are cleaned, but no, I still don't like the black monolith.
1977 - thanks for the pic of the Franklin St. condo. I was surprised that the garage was the one that was torn down for this condo project. A nice area, though I would not want to live on a congested highway.
