one more thing: I don't find the tower closest to the freeway attractive. (Po-Mo is definitely my least favorite architectural style)
The reason I bring it up is because of this archway. I really like it alot. (it's po-mo but understated)

I'm sure the architect's intention was to pay homage to the old bridges just east of downtown, particularly the 4th St. Bridge and the Cesar Chavez Blvd. Viaduct.
The archway on the other side of the tower (7th St.) isn't as successful due to the garage entrance. (the arch is above and turned at a 45 degree angle to accom the garage.
